Mistral Vibe adds cloud agents

This is the point where Vibe stops being a terminal helper and starts looking like an agentic workflow platform. The handoff mechanic is the real feature: it reduces the friction between “start locally” and “let it run elsewhere,” which is exactly where a lot of coding agents fall apart.

• –Cloud execution makes long-running refactors, test runs, and CI investigations viable without keeping a terminal open
• –Preserving session history and approvals is crucial because it keeps the agent accountable across environments instead of resetting context
• –Le Chat continuity turns Vibe into a cross-surface workflow, not just a CLI tool
• –The big tradeoff is operational complexity: isolated sandboxes, approvals, and task state syncing are now part of the product surface
• –This also signals Mistral is betting on agent workflows over one-shot code completion, with Medium 3.5 doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes
