Mellum2 is JetBrains' open-weight LLM for AI workflows, released open source under Apache 2.0 in June 2026. It is the successor to Mellum: where the original focused on code completion, Mellum2 handles both natural language and code. JetBrains positions it as engineered for the hard parts of production AI: latency, throughput, and cost.
Architecture
- 12B total parameters, MoE design with only ~2.5B active per token
- Trained specifically on natural language and code; not multimodal
- Open weights on HuggingFace
What it's for
A small, cheap, fast model to do the unglamorous plumbing of agentic systems rather than frontier reasoning:
- Routing and orchestrating AI workloads
- Low-latency RAG pipelines
- Powering sub-agents in complex workflows
- Private, local AI deployment
