JetBrains focuses on agentic development

JetBrains has announced Central, a new tool for agentic software development based on artificial intelligence. At the same time, the company announced the retirement of Code With Me, the pair programming feature.

This strategic shift indicates a greater emphasis on integrating AI into development workflows, with the aim of improving productivity and automating some phases of the development process. JetBrains seems to want to focus its resources on developing tools that leverage the potential of AI to assist developers.

For those evaluating on-premise deployments, there are trade-offs between data control and cloud flexibility. AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks on /llm-onpremise to evaluate these aspects.
