JetBrains launched Junie Lite, a free cloud coding agent for every JetBrains account, powered by Qwen 3.6 27B and available in Junie CLI and JetBrains IDEs via Air — free through December 31, 2026, no trial or card needed. Full Junie supports 10+ models via BYOK (Claude, Gemini, GPT, Grok) and emphasizes plan-with-strong-model/implement-with-fast-model economics: structured plans in .junie/plans, mid-task steering, human-in-the-loop approvals, async CLI+web execution, and GitHub/GitLab integration.
