IBM has made its agentic software development platform generally available for self-hosted deployment, allowing enterprises to run the platform on their own infrastructure, private clouds, or air-gapped networks without sending code to external systems. The platform covers the full software development lifecycle including understanding code, planning work, executing changes and validating results, with core capabilities including an IDE experience, a shell interface, and parallel tool calling.

This approach allows organizations to maintain control over where code is processed while maintaining a consistent developer experience across different deployment scenarios.
