i loved Jetbrains as an IDE but gosh they've fumbled the AI strategy.
The article doesn't mention AI assistant plugin which I think was their first attempt.
Junie cannot run local models, so for that you'll have to go back to AI assistant which leaves a lot to be desired.
I was excited about them adoption ACP with editors like Zed. will help standardize the space a little with the interoperability, but as it stands they're really behind in this race.
quick note to article author if they see this:

need to drop the Chat.
