There is no Topic for JBAI so post it under Goland. What is policy for updating Claude Code or Codex binaries? How many versions behind JetBrains chooses to stay?
Thanks for the question! Just to make sure I understand correctly: when you say “Claude Code or Codex binaries”, do you mean the underlying cloud‑hosted AI models/services (e.g. Anthropic Claude, OpenAI code models) that JetBrains AI uses, rather than binaries shipped inside the IDE itself?
In general, we aim to adopt newer model versions promptly but not instantly. We test them for quality, stability and compatibility first and only roll them out once we’re confident they improve the experience. That means we’re sometimes a version behind the absolute latest release to avoid regressions, but we don’t intentionally stay several versions back long‑term.
Please let me know if i was able to answer your question. Thank you!
No, I was in fact asking about codex and Claude code binaries.
I see that codex shipped with JBAI is using 0.98.something version while latest GitHub release is 0.101.0 with bug fixes for 5.3 model and some groundwork for the codex memory system. And was interested what’s the plan to keep up with “official” CLIs.
Both Claude Agent and Codex Agent binaries are managed by the plugin, so they’re not meant to be updated separately or auto-updated to every new upstream release on startup.
The versions included in the plugin are selected and validated to work reliably inside the IDE. New upstream releases are reviewed and may be picked up over time, rather than immediately following each external update.
Plugin and binary updates are delivered as part of regular AI plugin releases.

Hi there,
Currently, we support the following versions:
Claude: v2.0.0
Codex: v0.99.0
