About Devstral Small 1.1
Released May 7, 2025, Devstral Small 1.1 was built as a collaboration between Mistral AI and All Hands AI, the team behind the OpenHands agent scaffold. That partnership shaped Devstral Small 1.1's design for resolving real GitHub issues, giving it practical competency in the messy, context-dependent bugs that appear in production repositories.
At 46.8% on SWE-bench Verified, Devstral Small 1.1 outperformed previous open-source models by more than six percentage points at release. Under the OpenHands scaffold, it exceeded larger models like Deepseek-V3 (671B) and Qwen3 (232B). These results reflect efficient use of its parameter budget rather than scale.
Devstral Small 1.1 integrates with OpenHands, SWE-Agent, Ollama, LM Studio, and other tooling ecosystems.
What To Consider When Choosing a Provider
- Configuration: Devstral Small 1.1's Apache 2.0 license makes it among the more accessible open-source coding agents available through AI Gateway.
- Zero Data Retention: AI Gateway supports Zero Data Retention for this model via direct gateway requests (BYOK is not included). To configure this, check the documentation.
- Authentication: AI Gateway authenticates requests using an API key or OIDC token. You do not need to manage provider credentials directly.
When to Use Devstral Small 1.1
Best For
- OpenHands or SWE-agent backend: Teams using these scaffolds need a compact backend model
- GitHub issue resolution prototypes: Early-stage exploration of automated issue-resolution pipelines
- Apache 2.0 licensing requirement: Projects that mandate an Apache 2.0 open-weight license
Consider Alternatives When
- Higher SWE-bench accuracy: You need a stronger score (consider Devstral 2)
- Multimodal input capabilities: Your agent requires image or other non-text input
- Reasoning-first approach: Your task needs reasoning rather than agentic code execution
Conclusion
Devstral Small 1.1 brought agentic software engineering to a compact open-weight model. Devstral Small 1.1's GitHub-issue training, Apache 2.0 license, and broad deployment ecosystem make it a practical choice for teams exploring AI-assisted code maintenance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who built Devstral Small 1.1?
Mistral AI and All Hands AI, the team behind the OpenHands agentic framework, built it together.
What is Devstral Small 1.1's SWE-bench Verified score?
46.8%, which exceeded all prior open-source models by more than 6 percentage points.
What agent scaffolds does Devstral Small 1.1 support?
OpenHands and SWE-Agent are explicitly supported, and Devstral Small 1.1's tool-use capabilities make it compatible with other scaffolds as well.
What is the API pricing for Devstral Small 1.1?
Pricing appears on this page and updates as providers adjust their rates. AI Gateway routes traffic through the configured provider.
How does Devstral Small 1.1 compare to Devstral Small 2?
Devstral Small 2 is the successor with improved SWE-bench scores (68.0%), a 256K context window, and multimodal (image) input support. Devstral Small 1.1 remains relevant for teams already using it or preferring its established ecosystem integrations.
