Changing Claude Max (Opus 5.5 Medium) to Mistral CLI (3.5 Large Medium) for a week - AMA.
I am a free lance developer doing all sorts of work, from complex automation tools to my own SaaS-business. I recently bought Claude Max (99 USD) and I mean, it is great tbh, but also it is American. I really vouch for the use of European options (Using UpCloud for hosting my projects, Sweego for email etc) and I thought let's give Mistral a run. Just signed up for Mistral Pro and will use it for one of my projects this week. Will evaluate corrections needed as that is my main weak-spot, ie the amount of times I have to ask it to redo things because of low quality output. Let me know if you are also evaluating, or if you want some insights. Happy coding!
