You can now run the Qiskit Code Assistant locally easily. Download optimized models in GGUF format, install Ollama, and configure your VSCode or JupyterLab extension with a single command.
We've upgraded the Qiskit Code Assistant! Last month, we introduced mistral-small-3.2-24b-qiskit, replacing granite-3.3-8b-qiskit, delivering better accuracy across key benchmarks and more precise responses for quantum programming tasks.
The qiskit-ibm-transpiler library advanced to `#3` in the Unitary Foundation 2025 Survey for full-stack development platforms, surpassing 929K downloads in under two years. AI transpiler passes now run in local mode without requiring an IBM Quantum premium plan.
Announcing the latest open-source LLM releases from the Qiskit Code Assistant team, featuring Qiskit 2.0 compatibility, enhanced text understanding, and new models including Granite 3.3, Granite 3.2, and Qwen2.5-Coder series.
Celebrating qiskit-ibm-transpiler recognition as the 4th most used quantum computing development tool globally in the 2024 Unitary Fund survey. A remarkable achievement for a project with just 1 year of public existence, combining Qiskit heuristic algorithms with novel AI transpiler passes.
Published a comprehensive blog post summarizing what Qiskit Code Assistant is and how to start using it. Following the recent launch, users are actively leveraging the tool features, and the team is developing improved models with enhanced capabilities for open source release.
