JetBrains has unveiled a significant expansion to its AI-powered coding tool, AI Assistant, with support for the latest AI models from Anthropic and OpenAI. The update integrates Claude Sonnet 3.5 and Claude Haiku 3.5, along with OpenAI's o1, o1-mini, and o3-mini models. Additionally, AI Assistant now allows software developers to connect to locally hosted models via LM Studio, enhancing flexibility and data privacy.

For software developers, AI Assistant is meant to be more than just an incremental upgrade. It's designed to perform as an intelligent co-pilot that streamlines the coding workflow. Originally developed as an enhancement to JetBrains’ profiling tool, AI Assistant now offers an integrated AI chat, code explanations, automated documentation generation, intelligent naming suggestions, and commit message drafting.
