    JetBrains releases Mellum2.1 open coding model

    JetBrains released Mellum2.1, a 12-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts model with 2.5 billion active parameters for coding agents and self-hosted use. Its original release says the weights are on Hugging Face under Apache 2.0. JetBrains says its reinforcement learning improved repository work and speed, while GGUF builds and a multi-token prediction head are still planned.
