What changed
Junie Lite gives every JetBrains account, free ones included, a no-cost model for routine coding work. It runs Qwen 3.6 27B on JetBrains’ own servers, and JetBrains says the model may change later. JetBrains describes usage as virtually unlimited but states the offer is valid until December 31, 2026. It works in the IDE and in Junie CLI.
Who it affects
All Junie users, especially Free and AI Pro users watching credit spend.
What to do
Pick Junie Lite with /model for routine tasks to save AI credits, and plan for the offer ending on December 31.
