Codestral 22B vs Doubao 1.5 Vision Pro

Codestral 22B

Mistral AI

Codestral is a 22-billion-parameter code-specialized model from Mistral AI, released in May 2024 as the company's first dedicated coding model, trained with focus on fill-in-the-middle (FIM) completion, code generation, and repair across 80+ programming languages. Unlike Mistral's general-purpose Apache 2.0 models, Codestral was released under a separate non-production research license, reflecting its positioning as a professional coding tool requiring commercial API access for production deployment. Its FIM support made it particularly valued for IDE integrations and code completion tools that need to insert code within existing contexts rather than only appending to the end.

ByteDance

Doubao 1.5 Vision Pro, released by ByteDance via Volcano Engine on January 22, 2025, is a multimodal large language model from the Doubao 1.5 family with comprehensive upgrades to visual reasoning, OCR, and fine-grained image understanding. Built on a large-scale sparse MoE architecture, it targets vision-intensive workflows including document analysis, chart interpretation, and visual question answering.
