OPEN SOURCE

Built on proven foundations

OpenCode Foundation

Kilo CLI 1.0 is built on OpenCode—an MIT-licensed CLI for agentic coding that's beautifully designed and backed by an active community.

Deep Integration

Not a thin wrapper. We've integrated Kilo CLI deeply into the Kilo platform while preserving everything that makes OpenCode great: fast, extensible, and built for developers.

Giving Back

Kilo is committed to open source—we'll be contributing our improvements and bug fixes upstream to OpenCode.
