JetBrains has introduced local AI code completion in its latest IDE release, 2024.1, offering developers full-line autocompletion powered by AI models that operate on-device. This development positions JetBrains ahead of GitHub's Copilot in the race for local generative AI coding assistants, addressing copyright and data privacy concerns associated with cloud-based tools. The local processing ensures data privacy and circumvents licensing issues, a notable advantage over cloud-based alternatives. JetBrains' approach also aims to enhance the user experience by preventing the generation of code with non-existent variables or methods, according to JetBrains' Mikhail Kostyukov.
