JetBrainsThe company behind coding tools like IntelliJ IDE for Java and Kotlin (and, indeed, the Kotlin language itself) launched on Thursday. JuneA new AI coding agent. This agent will handle routine development tasks when you want to create new applications — and understand the context of existing projects and extend them with new features.
Using the well-regarded SWEBench Verified benchmark of 500 common developer tasks, Junie was able to solve 53.6% of them in a single run. Recently, It would have been a top score. But it's worth noting that the top-performing models at the moment score more than 60% with Weights & Biases “Programmer O1 crosscheck5”. 64.6%. JetBrains itself calls Junie's score “potential.”
But even with a low score, JetBrains' service has an advantage due to its tight integration with the rest of the JetBrains IDE. Even when Junie helps developers complete their tasks, humans delegate tasks to agents. The company notes that the human is always in control.
“Code generated by AI can be as flawed as code written by developers,” the company wrote in a statement. “Finally, Junie is poised to not only accelerate development, but also raise the bar for code quality. By combining the power of JetBrains IDEs with LLMs; Junie generates code; conducting inspections; You can write tests and verify that they pass. “
But it will take a while before you can try it yourself. The service is only available through the early access program behind a. Waiting list. At this time, And it's not just on Linux and Mac. WebStorm also works with the upcoming IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate and PyCharm Professional IDEs.
