About CodeGeeX
CodeGeeX is an AI programming assistant from Zhipu AI in Beijing, delivered as IDE plugins and described by the vendor as a powerful intelligent programming assistant based on large language models. The current generation is CodeGeeX4, and the model behind it, CodeGeeX4 ALL 9B, is published as open source on GitHub, so teams can run it locally as well as through the hosted service.
It is aimed at individual developers and engineering teams working in mainstream languages, and the vendor lists Python, Java, C++, JavaScript and Go among many others. The plugin installs into VS Code, IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, PhpStorm, Android Studio, Visual Studio and HBuilderX. Four capabilities sit at the core: code generation and completion as the developer types, comment generation that adds line level comments automatically, semantic level code translation between languages, and an AI chat for technical questions. Keyboard shortcuts trigger code interpretation and bug fixing on a selected block, and the assistant works inside the editor rather than in a separate window.
Pricing is only partly published. The individual plugin is offered free of charge, and the site advertises an Enterprise Plan for organizations without listing a rate; there is no public pricing page, and enterprise buyers are directed to contact the company for terms.
The notable fact for buyers outside China is the origin: the product and its documentation are primarily Chinese, with an English site available, and the open source release makes the model itself usable independently of the commercial plugin.
