February 2025

The service is now part of SourceCraft. Therefore, the full name of Yandex Code Assistant has been changed to SourceCraft Code Assistant. However, its current features are still the same.

Code Assistant is now also available in the built-in SourceCraft code editor.
The service is publicly available at the Preview stage; you no longer need to request access. For more information, see Getting started with SourceCraft Code Assistant.
Introduced a system of quotas.
Added plugin support to the VSCodium IDE, a specialized build of Visual Studio Code that features only open-source components.

Added the personal memory feature. When generating suggestions, the model now relies on the user's previously written code and tabs currently open in their IDE. The context is available to each user individually; data is not shared within the organization or between users. A/B testing revealed a statistically significant change in metrics: accepted suggestions increased by 11%, while rejected suggestions decreased by 17%.

December 2024

Added support for automatic plugin updates for JetBrains IDE and Visual Studio Code.
Changed the installation method for the JetBrains IDE plugin. The plugin installed using the new method will be updated automatically. For more information, see Installing and configuring a plugin.
Added a tooltip generation indicator in the JetBrains IDE.
