Gemini 3.1 Pro Arrives in JetBrains, Xcode, and Eclipse via GitHub Copilot
Google's Gemini 3.1 Pro model has landed in public preview across GitHub Copilot, and this time it's not just VS Code and Visual Studio getting the love. JetBrains IDEs, Xcode, and Eclipse can now tap into Gemini 3.1 Pro directly from the model picker — meaning the vast majority of professional developers can access Google's latest AI without changing their editor. Enterprise and Business admins need to opt in through Copilot settings first, after which the model becomes available in agent, ask, and edit modes for the whole team.
The significance here goes beyond a simple model upgrade. Gemini 3.1 Pro is now a genuine first-class citizen in the GitHub Copilot ecosystem, sitting alongside OpenAI's own offerings rather than playing catch-up. For the enormous slice of the developer population that lives inside JetBrains tools like IntelliJ, PyCharm, and WebStorm — or inside Xcode building iOS and macOS apps — this gives Google's flagship model real daily-driver credibility in competitive AI coding workflows.
