JetBrains has open-sourced KotlinLLM, a prototype plugin that uses LLMs to generate executable Kotlin code at runtime rather than relying on live inference calls. By leveraging JDI for hot-reloading classes with minimal overhead (~1%), the tool aims to reduce costs and latency in JVM-based development workflows while maintaining type safety through generated source files.
JetBrains Open-Sources KotlinLLM: Smart Macros That Generate Kotlin Source Code at Runtime and Hot-Reload It Through JDI

JetBrains Research has open-sourced KotlinLLM under the Apache License 2.0. The IntelliJ IDEA plugin prototype adds Smart macros, asLlm and mockLlm, whose bodies are generated Kotlin source rather than live model calls. The plugin captures runtime values through JDI, asks an LLM agent for a narrow code update, compiles it, and redefines the loaded class. Covered scenarios then run as plain Kotlin with no further inference call. On an adapted Spring Petclinic project, 24 of 24 scenarios completed with a 100% hot-reload success rate and roughly 1% runtime overhead. The post JetBrains Open-Sources KotlinLLM: Smart Macros That Generate Kotlin Source Code at Runtime and Hot-Reload It Through JDI appeared first on MarkTechPost.
JetBrains Research Open-Sources KotlinLLM. KotlinLLM is an IntelliJ IDEA plugin for Kotlin/JVM projects that adds a language feature called Smart macros. A Smart macro is a regular Kotlin function call whose body is generated Kotlin code. The public API is deliberately small. asLlm<F, T>(from, hint) converts an input of type F into a typed value…
