More AI models for GitLab Duo Agent Platform Self-Hosted

GitLab 19.0 addresses the challenges faced by customers operating in highly regulated, air-gapped, or data-residency-constrained environments by expanding support for self-hosted open source models. These updates enable teams to select models that align with specific workflow requirements, even in isolated settings where external API calls and internet connectivity are restricted. The release includes models like Mistral Devstral 2 123B, GLM-5.1, Kimi-K2.6, and MiniMax-M2.7, which can be deployed on-premises to ensure data remains within the user's environment. The primary deployment pattern involves using vLLM, GitLab's suggested serving platform, on either local hardware or GPU-enabled virtual machines in private clouds. This approach provides on-demand capacity while maintaining data isolation. GitLab 19.0 also introduces hybrid deployment options, allowing for a mix of self-hosted and GitLab-managed models, and offers configurations tailored to both offline and online license holders.
