    I think this is the future of code editors.

    Two things that fell short for me:

    1. No support for my Claude subscription

    2. The git interface lags behind other JetBrains IDEs

      Hi, product person from JetBrains here:

      About point 1: We tried to make this work, but unfortunately hit a hard stop with Anthropic: their current policies do not allow us to support this integration, and we were not able to negotiate an exception :c

      We still hope that we will find an agreement here

        That's unfortunate. I hope you guys are able to crack a deal.

        Also, is it possible to use JetBrains Air with OpenAI-compatible APIs/proxies?

          JetBrainer here. Yes, you can run your own local OpenAI-compatible models in Air, including through Ollama or LM Studio, or via open source agentic frameworks like OpenCode or pi. We offer a huge number of agentic frameworks that you can easily install to integrate with the IDE via the ACP.

            I mean the OpenAI API integration but on a different hostname, like another URL that is OpenAI compatible, not with another ACP following agent framework.

            Try this in Zed:

            Open settings > AI > LLM Providers [Configure] >

            there is OpenAI and OpenAI subscription - ignore those two.

            On top-right, there is "Add Provider" with two options:

            1. Compatible APIs (OpenAI)

            2. Compatible APIs (Anthropic)

            When I choose "Compatible APIs (OpenAI)", I can input a custom API URL.

              OK I checked and it is available in the Plugin version of Air, but not in its own IDE. Which is okay.

              Any ETA on the mobile app?
