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 European infrastructure, so your work never leaves the EU whichever you choose. Here's how they differ, and how they measure up — including speed numbers we measure ourselves.
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.
FastestMistral Small 3.2
The quickest way to a first draft — great for simple pages and fast iteration.

BalancedDevstral 2
Mistral's agentic coding model — more detail, still quick. Strong on code-heavy builds.

The European flagship — detailed, well-built pages. A longer wait for higher-quality output.

Best-lookingGLM 5.2
The most polished output — a strong open-weights reasoning model that writes the most detailed pages.

The biggest model here — deeply detailed builds, and the longest wait. For work that rewards patience.

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% |

† 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.
how fast, measured by us.
Leaderboards test models in a lab. This is what they do here — on the same European servers that build your pages. We run this benchmark ourselves, publish the raw data, and re-measure when the serving changes.
greener by where it runs.
Running in Europe isn't only about your data — it's about the grid underneath. MakeMode's models run on European data centres chosen for lower-carbon energy. We're measuring the energy and CO₂ of a real build the same way we measure speed — openly, with the raw numbers published here.
what a build costs.
Open models are far cheaper to run than closed frontier services — and we'd rather show you the price than hide it. Here's the cost per model, so you can pick by budget as well as by polish, and see exactly what you're paying for.
whichever you pick, it stays in the EU.
Sovereignty isn't a property of the model — it's how MakeMode runs all of them: on European clouds under GDPR (Scaleway in France, with some models served from EU data centres in Finland), 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.
