Mistral Launches Devstral 2 Coding Model
According to VentureBeat AI, French AI startup Mistral has released Devstral 2, a new coding-focused model. The release includes both enterprise and open source versions, with VentureBeat noting a “laptop-friendly version” among the offerings. The announcement comes “just days after releasing its powerful open source, general purpose Mistral 3 LLM family for edge,” according to the report. VentureBeat characterizes these as “crowd-pleasing models for enterprise and indie developers” released in December 2025.
LLM Agents Tested for Physics Data Analysis
Separately, researchers have published a study on arXiv (arXiv:2512.07785v1) exploring the use of large language model agents to automate high energy physics analysis. According to the abstract, the work presents “a proof-of-principle study demonstrating the use of large language model (LLM) agents to automate a representative high energy physics (HEP) analysis.” The researchers used the Higgs boson diphoton cross-section measurement as their test case, working with ATLAS Open data, though the abstract excerpt provided does not include specific results or conclusions from the study.
