The developer behind Quartex Pascal shares an Easter update on the project's progress and future direction. The IDE's architectural roadmap has been largely completed ahead of schedule, with datamodules, non-visual components, and an MCP server for AI integration already in place. The post outlines upcoming work across IDE polish, AI/LLM integration, project support, form design, RTL improvements, and documentation. A notable announcement is that the team has begun training a custom QTX-specific LLM model based on Qwen3-Coder, intended to be hosted for automation and run locally by customers as a cheaper alternative to Claude. The author also reflects on how AI is reshaping IDE design philosophy, arguing for keeping the IDE lean and focused on core features rather than building complex functionality that AI will soon replace.
