Auto Model

Smart model routing that automatically selects the optimal AI model based on your current Kilo Code mode, balancing cost and capability. Improve token efficiency for each task without manual switching.

Key Benefits

Simplified setup: No need to manually switch models when changing modes
Cost optimization: Uses the more economical Sonnet for implementation, reserves Opus for planning tasks
Seamless experience: Works transparently in the background
Best-in-class models: Automatically uses Claude Opus 4.6 for reasoning and Claude Sonnet 4.5 for coding

Use Cases

1
Developers who frequently switch between planning and coding modes
2
Teams wanting consistent, optimized model selection across workflows
3
Users who want to balance cost and capability for each task without manual configuration
4
Cost-conscious developers who want to optimize spend without sacrificing quality

About Auto Model

Auto Model (`kilo/auto`) is a smart model routing system that automatically selects the optimal AI model based on the current Kilo Code mode being used, balancing cost and capability. Simply select `kilo/auto` as your model, and the system detects which mode you're using (architect, code, debug, etc.) and automatically routes to the best model for that task. Planning and reasoning tasks use Claude Opus 4.6, while implementation tasks use Claude Sonnet 4.5—all handled automatically.
