the models you build with.
MakeMode builds on a small set of open AI models — from the quickest to the most polished. Pick by what you need; every one runs on French infrastructure, so your work never leaves the EU whichever you choose. Here's how they differ, and how they measure up.
fastest to best-looking.
The same trade-off you'll see in the model picker in the web app and demo: quicker models draft simpler pages; larger ones take longer but build more detailed, polished work. One choice, no wrong answer.
Mistral Small 3.2
The quickest way to a first draft — great for simple pages and fast iteration.
Devstral 2
Mistral's agentic coding model — more detail, still quick. Strong on code-heavy builds.
Mistral Medium 3.5
The European flagship — detailed, well-built pages. A longer wait for higher-quality output.
GLM 5.2
The most polished output — a strong open-weights reasoning model. Slowest to build.

the benchmarks, honestly.
Benchmarks say what a model is good at — not where your data goes (that's identical for all of them). Here's a snapshot on coding; rankings move weekly, so we link the live boards.
| Model | Best for | SWE-bench Verified |
|---|---|---|
| Mistral Small 3.2fastest · lighter drafts | quick pages, simple tools | general model |
| Devstral 2agentic coding, EU | coding-heavy builds | 72% |
| Mistral Medium 3.5EU flagship | detailed, polished pages | 78% |
| GLM 5.2open weights, EU-hosted | most polished output | top open-weights † |
† GLM 5.2 leads open-weight models on LMArena; its makers report 62% on the harder SWE-bench Pro (a tougher test, not comparable to Verified). See the live boards: LMArena · Artificial Analysis · SWE-bench.
whichever you pick, it stays in France.
Sovereignty isn't a property of the model — it's how MakeMode runs all of them: on Scaleway in France, your words in, a page out, nothing leaving the EU. An open model is a file we run, not a service phoning home — so where its makers are doesn't change where your data goes. That's true for the fastest Mistral and the most polished GLM alike.
