JetBrains is selling independence as the rest of AI coding picks sides

JetBrains says it is the last major independent AI coding-tool vendor as rivals become tied to big labs and cloud platforms.

The company is pitching model neutrality: its tools can work across multiple AI models instead of locking users into one vendor.

JetBrains Central is being promoted as a governance and billing layer for enterprises running AI coding agents.

JetBrains says its profitable, bootstrapped business lets it avoid dependence on any single model provider.
