The article doesn't mention AI assistant plugin which I think was their first attempt.

Junie cannot run local models, so for that you'll have to go back to AI assistant which leaves a lot to be desired.

I was excited about them adoption ACP with editors like Zed. will help standardize the space a little with the interoperability, but as it stands they're really behind in this race.

quick note to article author if they see this:

> Junie runs on ChatGPT-5

need to drop the Chat.

This sounds unnecessarily condescending given that JetBrains failed to price their own product correctly.
