Kilo Code
Open-source agentic coding agent for VS Code, JetBrains and the CLI
Overview
Kilo Code is an Apache-2.0 open-source AI coding agent that runs in VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, Cursor, Windsurf and a standalone CLI. It can generate code, refactor across files, debug, write docs and orchestrate multi-step workflows, with access to 500+ models and bring-your-own-key support at zero markup. It targets developers who want a model-agnostic, inspectable alternative to closed assistants, and also offers a hosted pay-as-you-go option.

Kilo Code is one of the more credible open-source coding agents to emerge after the consolidation around Cline forks. Apache-2.0 licensing, broad IDE coverage, 500+ model access and zero-markup BYOK make it attractive for teams that want control over cost and data, and it has fast traction (10k+ stars, 250k+ installs).
The pay-as-you-go hosted layer keeps onboarding simple, but heavy users should budget carefully since costs scale with model usage. As with all BYOK agents, output quality is only as good as the model you point it at, so expect some configuration before it shines.
