IBM Brings Bob to Self-Hosted and Air-Gapped Environments: Agentic Software Development Without Moving Your Code

IBM has released a self-hosted version of its agentic software development platform, Bob, allowing enterprises to deploy the tool within private, sovereign, or air-gapped network environments. This update enables organizations to maintain strict data privacy by running the software on-premises using models like NVIDIA Nemotron or Poolside Laguna. By allowing development tasks to occur without moving code to external servers, the platform addresses security requirements for companies handling sensitive or proprietary intellectual property.
