I'm kind of curious what IntelliJ's deal is with the different providers. I usually just keep it set to Claude but there are others that you can pick. I don't pay extra for the AI assistant - it's part of my regular subscription. I don't think I use the AI features as heavily as many others, but it does feed my code base to whoever I'm set to...

Are you sure you don’t pay extra? I’m on Rider and it’s an additional cost. Unless us C# and F# devs are subsidising everyone else :D Edit: It says on the Jetbrains website: “The AI Assistant plugin is not bundled and is not enabled in IntelliJ IDEA by default. AI Assistant will not be active and will not have access to your code unless you install the plugin, acquire a JetBrains AI Service license and give your explicit consent to JetBrains AI Terms of Service and JetBrains AI Acceptable Use Policy while installing the plugin.”

  When they first added the assistant it was $100/yr to enable it. However, it's now part of the subscription and they even reimbursed me a portion of the $100 that I paid.

    You're one of the lucky ones. They just outright stole from many of the people who did pay for it.

  If you pay for the all products subscription, their AI features are now bundled in. I believe that may be a relatively recent change, and I would not have known about it if I hadn't been curious and checked.

    I’ve just checked. I have the ‘dotUltimate’ bundle, which now appears to include ‘AI Pro’. They didn’t cancel my existing ‘AI Pro’ subscription though, and have just let it keep running with no refunds. Thanks, Jetbrains. You get worse every day.

Considering they didn't significantly change their pricing when they bundled the equivalent of a ~$10-20/mo subscription to their Ultimate pack (which I pay something around $180/year for), I'm guessing they're eating a lot of the cost out of desperation for an imagined problem. That or they were fleecing everyone from the beginning.
