Codestral 22B vs MiniMax M2.1
Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.

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.

MiniMax
MiniMax M2.1, released by MiniMax on December 23, 2025, is a large language model with approximately 230 billion parameters featuring strong multi-language programming capabilities and an industry-leading multilingual coding profile. It features a 196K token context window and is optimized for complex real-world software engineering tasks across Rust, Java, Golang, C++, TypeScript, and other languages. M2.1 targets agentic coding workflows and applications requiring production-grade programming across diverse language environments.
