Junie now runs entirely offline. Can you spare a 64 GB M5 Mac?
The New Stack 1 month ago 27
JetBrains released Junie Local, a free coding agent that runs entirely on a developer’s Mac instead of using cloud models. It downloads about 20 GB and requires macOS 26 with at least 64 GB unified memory and an Apple M5 (or newer). Setup is now handled inside Junie (including local model/Qwen3.6 selection and inference), so coding prompts, source, and diffs stay on the machine.
