Kilo Code is open
The leading open source AI coding platform. 500+ models, any IDE, any device, any workflow.
What Open Means at Kilo
Concrete, verifiable commitments. Not marketing speak.
Open Source Components
Apache 2.0
until source available
Our Source Available Commitment
Our Gateway and Cloud backend will be source available by Feb 6, 2026. For security abuse protection will not be source available.
License available by Feb 6, 2026If you're here because of the Cline news, welcome.
Acquisitions mean uncertainty—roadmaps change, features get paywalled, communities get sidelined. We get why you're looking around.
Our business model has clear boundaries: open core stays open, commercial features fund development. Apache 2.0 is forever. Whatever happens to Kilo the company, Kilo the codebase stays open. That's the whole point.
Never paywall open source
Features that are open source today stay open source tomorrow. No asterisks. No "for now."
Always support BYOK
Bring your own keys. You're never locked into our infrastructure. Your models, your choice.
500+ models, no gatekeeping
We don't pick winners—you do. Access any model from any provider. Switch freely.
Community contributions stay open
Code you contribute to the open source codebase stays open source. Period.
Public roadmap
We build in the open. Our roadmap is public. No surprises, no hidden agendas.
No sign-in walls
Browse docs, download the extension, explore features—all without creating an account.
Why Platforms Beat Point Solutions
Proprietary agents slow you down with gates and throttles. Kilo unleashes Kilo Speed through the only all-in-one agentic engineering platform.
End-to-end orchestration
Architect → Code → Debug → Review. One seamless flow, no app-switching.
IDE agnostic
VS Code, JetBrains, CLI, Cloud Agents—same session, same context, everywhere.
Session continuity
Start on your phone, pick up on your laptop, hand off to a cloud agent overnight.
500+ models
Not locked to one provider. Use the right model for each task. Switch anytime.
End-to-end without app-switching. That's the platform advantage.
Production-Proven Speed
We don't just talk about speed. We ship it.

We build Kilo with Kilo.
In the last six weeks, we shipped Kilo Autocomplete, Parallel Agents, Kilo Sessions, Cloud Agents, Code Review, Managed Indexing, App Builder, Voice Prompting, and Team AI Dashboard—all built using Kilo Code.
Kilo Deploy went from first commit to GA in 2 weeks. We call it Kilo Speed.
