Upcoming discontinuation of Qiskit Code Assistant service

On 29 May 2026, IBM Quantum® will discontinue the preview Qiskit Code Assistant service and archive the supporting extensions for Visual Studio Code and JupyterLab.

Based on feedback and usage patterns, more users are running Qiskit Code Assistant models locally and working in editor integrations that are already part of their development workflow.

Qiskit Code Assistant models will remain available for local use. To continue using them, move to a local deployment and a community-supported editor integration or other local tooling.

For setup guidance, see Use Qiskit Code Assistant in local mode.
