Company
JetBrains is a software company making developer tools like IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, and WebStorm, and creator of the Kotlin programming language.
Band launched Band for Developers, a desktop app that lets one engineer manage several coding agents from a single dashboard. In SiliconANGLE's account the developer still makes the calls between agents, so the shared context sits with the person.

Netflix and JetBrains report that a headless IntelliJ code engine made Claude Code and Codex typically 20 to 30% more efficient, up to about 65%. Netflix wrote the daemon that keeps the index warm because JetBrains had not shipped one.

JetBrains' MPS 2026.2 release candidate adds Linux ARM64 support, with a matching bundled JetBrains Java Runtime and standalone RCP builds. Teams that package MPS-based tools can test ARM64 distributions before the final release.
Reality
JetBrains Marketplace now shows plugin authors UI freeze reports attributed to their plugins, grouped by error type. The reports appear only once Marketplace reporting is enabled in the plugin, a plugin.xml change JetBrains says is worth making before it is needed.
Reality
JetBrains now recommends Kotlin Toolchain 0.13 for most new Kotlin Multiplatform projects, the same year it promoted the tool to Alpha. Teams starting a KMP app now have to weigh a pre-1.0 CLI whose main argument is that it sets up each platform's tools for them.
Reality
JetBrains posted a CZK 315 million net loss in 2025, its first on record, on revenue that grew 6.3% to $710 million. Figures published on dev.to put the strain in costs, so teams on its IDEs should watch how JetBrains prices the AI agent it now ships in all of them.
Reality
JetBrains and Lund University propose review tools that flag per-segment risk in AI-written code, a design shaped with 17 practitioners and a 43-person survey. They argue diff review cannot keep up with agent-sized changes unless tools show reviewers where to read closely.
Reality
OpenSSF published CRA readiness guidance for manufacturers that have owed 24-hour warnings on exploited vulnerabilities since September 11. Open-source stewards do not start reporting until December 2027, so for 15 months the duty sits with product teams alone.
Reality
JetBrains opened early access to Air, a plugin and 2026.3 EAP feature that runs a developer's existing coding agents as parallel sessions inside its IDEs. Air needs no JetBrains AI subscription, so a team can trial multi-agent work on the agent plans it already pays for.
Reality
JetBrains' Kotlin 2.5.0-Beta1 adds an off-by-default mode that stops Multiplatform common code from compiling against dependencies' platform-only declarations. With the flag on, builds reject the calls IntelliJ already flags as unresolved, so KMP teams are better off finding that breakage on a branch first.
Reality
Generic methods collapse per-type API sprawl, go fix gains four modernizers, and the goroutineleak profile in runtime/pprof is now generally available. GoLand 2026.2 supports all three.

Two companies selling AI agents to enterprise engineering teams took in at least $2.2 billion of new equity within seven days, each selling about 4 percent of itself, and only one of the two prices has a revenue multiple attached.

CISA said Sept. 23 that ransomware crews are exploiting CVE-2026-63077, an unauthenticated 9.8 RCE in JetBrains TeamCity patched July 25. Any build server patched late has to be handled as breached, including the credentials and signing keys it held.
Reality
Six months after introducing JetBrains Central, JetBrains has renamed it Air Governance and made it the place an organization sees and caps what agents from any vendor cost it. The IDE becomes one surface of several.

A dev.to writeup traces roughly 3,800 exfiltrated GitHub repositories to one trojanised Nx Console install from the official Marketplace, where the sandbox that would have contained it has been an open feature request since 2018.
Reality
JetBrains puts weekly AI coding agent use at 90% of professional developers in mid-2026. A dev.to post argues the sites those agents scaffold collapse onto one section order and one URL, and treats page architecture as work that has to precede generation.
Reality
The typed authentication module and Netty's HTTP/3 support both arrive experimental in Ktor 3.6.0, while the changes that touch code you already wrote are two deprecations and one client Accept-header setting.
Reality
The merged 27B finished 37 of 100 internal coding tasks against 34 for the fast checkpoint and 39 for the reasoning one, and it did that while emitting 71% fewer output tokens than the 39, with no post-training in the recipe.
Reality
The new Junie CLI mode needs Docker, a generated build plan and a request specific enough to check, and the report it returns marks each check passed, failed or incomplete. JetBrains says it has run the agent on more than 1,500 of its own pull requests.
Reality
Cline's coding agent runs on one engine in four places, licensed Apache 2.0, with a CLI built to run headless inside pipelines and a Node SDK for teams that want to build their own agent on top of it.
