Kilo — Technical Overview
Kilo is an open-source (MIT) AI coding agent built for individual developers, engineering teams, and enterprises. It exposes multiple specialized agents — Code, Plan, Debug, Ask, and Cloud — accessible across VS Code, JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm), CLI, cloud, Slack, and mobile.
Model layer: Kilo connects to 500+ models across 60+ providers, including Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Azure, and AWS Bedrock, as well as local models via Ollama or LM Studio. Inference can be routed through:
- Free models (zero cost)
- BYOK (bring your own API keys)
- Kilo Gateway — pay-as-you-go at provider rates with no markup
- Kilo Pass — subscription from $19/mo with up to 50% bonus credits
Auto Model Routing dynamically selects models for cost and capability optimization. Full prompt and context visibility is maintained throughout — no hidden processing.
Deployment: Self-hostable. Cloud compute is billed per second (e.g., Cloud Agent Standard at $1.20/hr). The codebase has accumulated 27,710+ GitHub stars since its founding in 2025.
Integrations: VS Code, Open VSX, JetBrains suite, Slack, Bitbucket, Jira, AWS Bedrock, Azure, Ollama, LM Studio.
