Mistral describes the modernization of historical code by AI agents

A European energy operator migrated 40,000 lines from Fortran 77 to C++ with the support of AI agents.

Mistral reports on a project to migrate 40,000 lines from Fortran 77 to C++ at a European energy operator. The agents were used to explore, transform and validate the existing code.

The case illustrates a very concrete use of AI in technical debt, where tests and business expertise are still necessary to secure the result.
