Trained from scratch and designed for practical deployment, Mellum2 is built for routing, Q&A, sub-agents, and private AI use in software engineering systems.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, June 03, 2026: JetBrains today announced that it is open-sourcing Mellum2, a 12B model engineered to solve the hardest parts of production AI: latency, throughput, and cost.

Built from scratch and released under the Apache 2.0 license, Mellum2 offers a high-performance, cost-efficient alternative for infrastructure. Mellum began with code completion and has evolved to handle both natural language and code. It is now a versatile tool ready to power routing, summarization, and intermediate reasoning steps across modern AI workflows.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, May 20, 2026: As organizations accelerate AI adoption, software teams are rapidly shifting from simple AI assistants to autonomous coding agents. Without the right infrastructure, this transition often results in fragmented workflows, unmanaged spending, governance gaps, and code that lacks deep project context. To address these challenges, JetBrains, the creator of intelligent software development tools trusted by over 15 million users, today announces the official MENA launch of its open agent system. JetBrains is bringing JetBrains Air, Junie CLI, and JetBrains Central to the region’s tech hubs to help organizations move beyond AI hype and achieve real adoption at scale. By providing a developer-grade cockpit combined with an organization-grade control plane, JetBrains is positioning itself as the default platform for this new era of agentic software development.
