supervisor: consider adding JetBrains to KNOWN_ORGS (borderline — 2 models, Mellum coding family) #36

Description

@SovereignSignal

Supervisor audit finding — 2026-07-06

Org: JetBrains (HuggingFace slug: JetBrains)
Models: 2 distinct models — Mellum-4b (earlier release) and Mellum2 (12B MoE, 2.5B active, Jun 1 2026, Apache 2.0)
Activity: Active; Mellum2 is a serious coding-focused open model designed for IDE embedding.

Context

JetBrains (the IDE company behind IntelliJ/PyCharm/etc.) released Mellum2 on June 1, 2026 — a 12B MoE coding model with Apache 2.0 license. It outperforms comparable coding benchmarks for its active-parameter budget. Prior release: Mellum-4b. Blog post: https://huggingface.co/blog/JetBrains/mellum2-launch

Why this is a manual call

Same borderline pattern as issue #32 (NemoStation):

  • For: A recognizable, large software company entering open-weight LLM space with a legitimate coding model; Apache 2.0 license; domain-specific engineering expertise. Two model releases = beginning of a pattern.
  • Against: Only 2 models. The supervisor bar is "sustained real model releases" — two releases is a thin pattern, especially for a company whose primary business is IDE tooling, not model development.

Recommendation

If JetBrains ships a third distinct model (Mellum3, Mellum-Omni, etc.) in the next 4–8 weeks, add them. If not, close as "watch-and-wait."

What to add if approved:

# PROVIDER_NAMES
"jetbrains": "JetBrains",
# KNOWN_ORGS
"jetbrains",
# MAJOR_HF_ORGS — use exact HF casing
"JetBrains",
# significant_families (optional)
"mellum",
