Kilo Code

Kilo Code is an open-source AI coding agent that works across VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, CLI, and cloud environments. It provides access to 500+ AI models at cost with zero inference markup, and supports bring-your-own API keys and local models. The agent ships with specialized modes including Architect for planning complex features, Code for writing and refactoring production code, Debug for identifying and fixing bugs, and Custom modes. An Auto Model feature routes requests to the appropriate model based on budget and task complexity, with Efficient, Frontier, and Free tiers. The entire codebase is MIT-licensed, allowing users to fork, modify, and self-host. Kilo Code also offers cloud agents for remote work, a code reviewer, and Slack integration, enabling seamless handoffs between local and remote workflows. It is used by over 3 million developers and has processed over 40 trillion tokens.
