GitLab Adds AI Code Assistance with Self-Hosted GitLab 18 Release
Briefly

GitLab's latest version, 18.0, enhances its DevSecOps platform by incorporating AI features across its Premium and Ultimate tiers. This version aligns GitLab with competitors by introducing AI-native development workflows, including code suggestions and automated analysis. Industry experts have highlighted that these features tackle common issues in code review processes, offering contextual improvements. Podcast discussions emphasize that the integration of AI directly into integrated development environments (IDEs) allows for seamless usage, reducing the need for context switching, which can disrupt developers' efficiency.
It's not just like little add-ons, it's more fundamental for those tiers.
The enhanced AI examines all the diffs across all the files in the merge request at the same time.
Duo works right inside your IDE rather than requiring developers to switch context constantly.
This broader contextual understanding aims to reduce what the speakers called weird or inaccurate suggestions.
