Netflix benchmarks JetBrains IDE code intelligence in Claude Code and Codex
Overview
Netflix plugged JetBrains' headless code-intelligence engine, the same one behind IntelliJ IDEA, into Claude Code and Codex and benchmarked it on two Java and Kotlin codebases.
JetBrains reports that agents typically used 20–30% fewer tokens and less time across models and tasks, with gains up to about 65% in the best case. Netflix built the daemon and CLI needed to make the language server callable by agents, since JetBrains had not yet shipped one.
JetBrains says its IDE intelligence for Java, which Netflix tested, is now shipped as part of the Java & Kotlin by IntelliJ IDEA extension.
