# JetBrains open sources KotlinLLM runtime code generator

**[InfoWorld](https://daily.dev/sources/infoworld)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

JetBrains has open sourced KotlinLLM, a research prototype IntelliJ IDEA plugin that enables delegating runtime logic to an LLM from Kotlin code. Unlike typical LLM usage during development, KotlinLLM targets runtime code generation in compiled Kotlin/JVM applications. It addresses trade-offs of existing approaches by making LLM-backed call sites visible in code review, saving generated behavior as ordinary Kotlin source that can be committed and tested, and running generated code as plain Kotlin without further LLM calls once generated — eliminating added latency and cost for covered scenarios. The plugin is released under Apache License 2.0 and includes the Smart macro API and example projects.
