Apple just released a weirdly interesting coding language model

Jetbrains has 100MB models of languages for their IDEs that can auto complete single lines. It's good but I think we can do better for local code auto complete. I hope Apple succeeds in their on device AI attempts.

Is any of the Jetbrains offerings even competitive. I jumped shipped from Pycharm and have tried their AI offerings a few times since release but was always wildly impressed at how far behind they were of the competition.

I've had good experiences with Junie and AI assistant at their bread and butter languages of Java and Kotlin. I haven't tried it in anger though.

Junie is so amazing. It burns through credits like hellfire, but I have only seen claude-code and opencode coming anywhere close to it.

Did you use the normal Jetbrains AI assistant, or was it junie?

Thanks for the recommendation. Pretty sure this was all pre Junie so will need to try it again.

You can run Qwen3 locally today if you want to. It can write whole files if you want (although not with <1 second latency like a sub 1GB model will which is what you want for interactive in-editor completions.)
