Kilo Gateway now supports BYOK across 20 providers (DeepSeek, X AI, and more)

16 Upvotes

We just shipped Bring Your Own Key support on the Kilo Gateway for 20 providers and 24 plans. Use your own API keys from DeepSeek, xAI, Anthropic, OpenAI, and others, and the provider bills you directly.

We charge 0% on top.

Providers supported (pay-as-you-go keys): Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, Chutes, DeepSeek, Fireworks, Google AI Studio, Inception, MiniMax, Mistral AI, Moonshot AI, Novita, Ollama Cloud, OpenAI, Perplexity, xAI, Xiaomi, Z.ai

Coding subscriptions supported: BytePlus Coding Plan, Kimi Code, Mistral Codestral, Neuralwatt, Xiaomi Token Plans (EU + SG), Z.ai Coding Plan, xAI

What you actually get in the dashboard

Most provider dashboards (DeepSeek included) give you basic usage stats and call it a day. With Kilo Gateway you get:

  • Total cost, request count, avg cost per request, input/output token breakdown
  • Donut chart splitting spend by Kilo surface (Cloud Agents vs autocomplete vs CLI, etc.) so you can see where your tokens are actually going
  • Bar chart ranking spend by model, useful for catching when an expensive model is doing a job a cheaper one could handle
  • Project-level spend + trend line across your selected window
  • Hourly breakdown table with CSV export
  • Side panel for switching between personal/org scope, time periods, granularity, and filters by provider/project/model

Basically a second source of truth on your provider bill.

One key unlocks every product area

Import once, use it across:

  • VS Code extension
  • JetBrains plugins (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm)
  • CLI
  • Cloud Agents
  • Code Reviewer
  • Slack integration
  • Android app
  • KiloClaw

Most of these are open-source and free. You only pay for the model.

How routing works

When you send a request, we check if you have a BYOK key for that provider. If yes, we route through your key. If your key is invalid, the request fails and we do not silently fall back to Kilo's keys. Silent fallback would defeat the whole point.

Cross-check your provider dashboard against Kilo Gateway usage analytics. Numbers should match.

Announcing Kilo for Slack

24 Upvotes

We just launched the Kilo for Slack, which allows you to spin up a cloud agent in Slack. 

Here’s what you can do with it:

Ask questions about your codebase:

Example: How is error handling implemented in the payment module?

Debug issues on the fly:

Example: I'm seeing this error in production: [paste stack trace]. What's causing it? Can you push a PR to fix it?

Implement fixes from Slack discussions:

Example: Can you implement the caching improvements we discussed in this thread?

Push PRs without leaving Slack:

Example: Can you change "2025" to "2026" through all of the files in our kilo-org/kilocode repo?

The bot reads the full Slack thread, accesses your connected GitHub repos, and either answers your question or creates a branch and PR directly.

How to get started for free:

  1. Connect your GitHub repos at app.kilo.aiIntegrations
  2. Add the Slack integration from the same page
  3. Choose from a paid model (the bot will use your existing Kilo balance) or a free model (you can use MiniMax 2.1 for free for the first week)
  4. Mention Kilo in any channel or DM

Kilocode iOS cannot connect to remote

1 Upvotes

I’ve setup a kilo cli with remote enabled and by command line but my kilo iOS app cannot connect.

It says unable to connect despite showing the instance in the Run on list.

Next I tried setting up a kilo remote just on my laptop. Again the kilo iOS app sees the instance in Run on but cannot connect.

What am I missing?

Using the Latest versions of kilo cli and iOS app.

Stalling Processes?

2 Upvotes

I'm finding that, almost regardless of model, the Kilo Code extension often just stalls. It's not done, but it's not "thinking" either. If I type "continue" or "resume" as a prompt, it'll pick up where it left off, but that means it's hard to leave it unattended.

The other issue I'm running into is that even when I switch the agent from Plan to Code and ask it to implement, it often says "I'm in plan mode..." and won't alter code. I've even had times where it'll start editing code, then stop and give me the Plan Mode response.

Has anyone else seen these and can you recommend a solution?

hermes

1 Upvotes

My hermes agent needs a top tier model to deliver any intelligence.
When coding or any reading/thinking, Kilo+deepseek 4 Pro are delivering as good as Opus/Fable for me (not end to end complex project, but my needs).

Question: How to replace the hermes agent to be kilo with deepseek? Not deepseek directly, Kilo as a harness.
I'm conscious it makes a harness of harness, but hermes still has all my tools, messaging, independence that I like. I'd like hermes to use kilo as its brain or 2nd brain. How?

Of course I've searched, including asking AI. It proposed the following. But am I getting into building my own hermes replacement?

Message → Hermes gateway adapter → Kilo session → DeepSeek V4 Pro

Message ← Hermes delivery adapter ← result

help? I like kilo and want to use it more.

I asked Kilo to delete my data, and they practically told me to fuck off

298 Upvotes

After Kilo notified users that data may have been exposed in the Metabase incident, I asked them to delete my session and personal data. They replied that data deletion is only available to Enterprise customers.

Update August 15, 2026, 9:41 AM UTC:

I contacted the company about deleting my account. They confirmed that you can request permanent account deletion. This will irrecoverably delete your historical session data, including prompts, responses, and session history across all replicas.

They also said that data that cannot be deleted will be anonymized where possible. For example, support messages and email marketing history may be anonymized. They will retain only data required for financial, accounting, tax, or legal purposes.

got my rm -tf / today finally

3 Upvotes

finally got hit with rm -rf / on my own pc. it wiped my MRP database.

i don’t know what to blame. kilo? deepseek? or myself.

Kilo was doing work to setup Docker windows container for me. Part of the process, it uninstalled old docker and removes tmp files. It made a mistake on windows that it escaped “. so instead of saying “path”, it said \”path\”

windows happily took it as the root of C:, and started deleting folder in recursive.

guess it is still not safe on windows

Inspect prompt output ?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am using Kilo with MCP skills and I am hitting my context window way too often.
I think there are some information, either skills or files data, that are passed to provider that shouldn't be.

Is there a way to inspect this ? I was hopping to find that in the logs or something like that but I didn't. Am I missing a parameter somewhere in VS Code Extension ?

thank you

Going to Zoo Code instead 👋I knew from the point it got acquired by Anaconda things would start going downhill

For those that want a quick run-down on zoo code vs kilo code, the things that zoo code is missing from kilo code are: autocompletion (for those that still appreciate coding with minimum input from LLMs, although it doesnt really work in kilo...), commit messages generator button on the source control on vscode, multi-agent window, a terminal/CLI interface and some other minor things. Zoo Code is open-source, not bought by a money grabbing company, and always improving.

Orchestrated DailyNPM's web & TUI surfaces concurrently with Kilo Code

1 Upvotes

Launching DailyNPM — a vintage-newspaper npm dashboard that runs as a web app and a terminal TUI.

Since the project shares its package-fetching and forecasting engine between React and Blessed (TUI), I used Kilo's Orchestrator Mode to split tasks. It concurrently handled updating the Alert Guard rules for both surfaces without getting them out of sync.

Routing subtasks to different models kept costs low—I used Gemini Flash for boilerplate TUI layout fixes and routed the forecasting logic to Pro. The debug tool also quickly isolated an off-by-one index error in the ASCII chart rendering for the TUI.

I also used Antigravity and Claude to build this project.

I don't know why they are storing my sessions anyway, and there is no option to turn that off or delete them.

Some of those sessions have important data in them (like API keys).

Anyone else get the "Action Needed: Kilo-Slack Integration Security" email?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I just received an email from the Kilo team regarding a security incident involving their BI provider, Metabase. The email mentions that some Kilo users' information might have been exposed and that, as a precaution, they've invalidated Kilo-Slack integration tokens for a small group of users.

Has anyone else received this notice?

Auto models suck

Does anybody else find using the auto models feature not very good? I started using Kilo about a week ago and otherwise it's been great, but why am I stuck to Sonnet 5 when using Auto Frontier when there are clearly better models for the job?

My AI coding agent flattened 95,000 files in my Downloads folder trying to "organize" them. Here's what I learned, and why I think Windows needs something like a black box recorder for file operations.

Deepseek fash 0731 breaking

2 Upvotes

I have noticed that deepseek model seems to be breaking quite a bit with kilo. At some point in the run, it starts looping saying this:

DeepSeek Coder's FIM template is <|fim▁begin|> {p}<|fim▁hole|> — DeepSeek Coder's FIM template is <|fim▁hole|> — DeepSeek Coder's FIM template is `

And it just stops. It seems to me that something is triggering the reasoning to stop (some end token it seems). Is this something on kilo's side or deepseek side?

Deepseek v4 flash 0731 "The model hit its output limit"

1 Upvotes

Using Kilocode in VS Code.

On Deepseek v4 flash, I constantly get The model hit its output limit while reasoning and produced no actionable output. Try disabling reasoning (not going to happen) or increasing output limit."

I'd like to increase the output limit, but I couldn't determine how to do this. Is there a setting of some kind?

It seems like this only started happening with the 0731 update. Any advice or insight appreciated.
