JetBrains' free Junie Lite agent (Qwen 27B) works on your real repo
dr_cintas · x · 2026-10-31
Junie Lite, a free always-on model (currently Qwen 27B) inside JetBrains' Junie CLI coding agent, can work directly on your repo: cross-file renames, changelogs from commit history, test scaffolds, doc updates. Setup takes 5 minutes (install CLI, sign in, describe task). The author recommends planning with a bigger model, delegating routine execution to Junie, and reviewing output like a junior teammate's — starting with a changelog generated since your last tag.
