Agentic Development Demands a Multi-Model Strategy — and the Governance to Match
JetBrains VP Mikhail Vink warned that the surge of agentic development is pushing enterprises toward a multi‑model AI ecosystem. Developers must now orchestrate agents from providers like Anthropic and Gemini while maintaining continuous context, memory, and data pipelines. To address the resulting complexity, JetBrains is launching a governance platform that tracks AI‑related costs, monitors model access, and audits developer acceptance of AI‑generated suggestions. Vink emphasized that critical thinking and robust QA remain essential despite automation.
