On top of Hacker News (the target demographic for coders) without an effective monetizable call to action? What a missed opportunity.

Github Copilot makes +100M/year, if not way way more.

Having a VS Code extension for Mistral would be a revenue stream if it was one-click and better or cheaper than Github Copilot. It is malpractice in my mind to not be doing this if you are investing in creating coding models.



How the hell does Copilot make $100M/yr? That seems an order of magnitude higher than I would expect at the high end.


I was thinking the opposite...remember there's enterprise subscriptions and multi-million dollar contracts with single companies.


if we’re talking individual subscriptions that’s ~1M paying subscribers. honestly that number would not totally shock me?

plus they’ve got some kinda enterprise/team offering; assuming they charge extra there, I could easily see $100M ARR

but that’s pure conjecture, and generous at that; I don’t think we have any hard numbers


???


yeah exactly only $100M/yr? barely covers expenses


I see, that makes sense: make an extension and charge for it.

I assumed they meant free x local. It doesn't seem rational to make this one paid: its significantly smaller than their better model, and even more so than Copilot's.
