About
Kilo Code is an open-source AI coding agent that runs across VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, CLI, and cloud, giving access to 500+ models with no markup on inference and support for bring-your-own-keys or local models. It includes specialized agent modes (Code, Architect, Debug) and an Auto Model router that picks between free, efficient, and frontier models based on task and budget.
What it can do
Route tasks automatically between free, efficient, and frontier models based on task and budget
Coding task and budget constraints → Selected AI model
Operate specialized agent modes for coding, architecture, and debugging
User request or codebase → Code, architectural plan, or debugging output
Why it made the leaderboard
Gives you a single open-source agent across IDE, CLI, and cloud with pass-through pricing on 500+ models, so you can route cheap tasks to free or small models and keep code local with your own keys. The mode system (Architect/Code/Debug) is a practical alternative to one-size-fits-all agents.
