Kilo Code

Conventional commits = structured git messages that actually help. Format: type(scope): description. feat: new features, fix: bug fixes, docs: documentation. Benefits: automatic changelogs, semantic versioning, better git history. AI can generate these perfectly. 📝✨

Introducing new Kilo Code feature ✨🛠️ : Usage stats

Stop measuring lines of code. Real dev productivity metrics: Time to first commit, context switching frequency, bugs per feature, deployment frequency, mean time to recovery. AI assistants should reduce context switches, not increase LOC. Quality over quantity. 📊🎯

Pair programming evolved: Human + AI collaboration beats human + human. AI never gets tired, remembers everything, suggests alternatives instantly. Human provides creativity, judgment, business context. Best pattern: Human architects, AI implements, human reviews. 🤝🤖

OpenAI just released its first open-source models:

1. GPT OSS 20B (131k context window)
2. GPT OSS 120B (same context window)

You start using them in Kilo Code right now:

Have you tried Horizon Beta model yet?

You can use a new Frontier Model for 🅵🆁🅴🅴 !

AI task breakdowns: "Add user auth" becomes 8 steps - API design, database schema, JWT implementation, frontend forms, validation, testing, docs, deployment. Smart AI shows progress visually: ✅ ⚡ ⭕. No more "where was I?" moments. Complexity → clarity. 🎯📋

Developers hate interruptions because flow state is fragile. Auto-approval settings let AI assistants work without constant "OK?" prompts. Enable for: todo updates, mode switching, simple file operations. Keep human control for: terminal commands, deletions. Balance! ⚖️🔄

Ollama vs OpenAI for coding: Privacy vs Performance showdown.

Ollama: Free, private, offline, slower responses, good for basic tasks
OpenAI: Fast, smart, costs money, sends data to cloud, better for complex reasoning

Your call: Control or capability? 🤖⚖️

❌ Bad prompt: "Fix the code"

😎 Good prompt: "Fix the bug in calculateTotal that returns incorrect results when handling decimal prices"

🎯 Best prompt: "In @utils/pricing.js, fix calculateTotal - it's adding tax twice on decimal prices. Expected: $10.50, Getting: $12.11"

"Shell Integration Unavailable" driving you crazy? 90% of failures: outdated VS Code, wrong shell profile, or 0ms command delay. Quick fixes: Update to 1.93+, select compatible shell, try 50ms delay. WSL users: add integration script to .bashrc. ⚡🔧

PowerShell vs Bash vs Zsh for AI coding? PowerShell needs 150ms delay, Bash works at 0ms, Zsh loves customization but breaks integration. Winner: Bash for reliability, Zsh for power users who configure properly. PowerShell... if you must. 🐚⚡

Let's take a closer look at two models from Moonshot AI that made quite a splash in the Open-Source Agentic space:

1️⃣ Kimi K2 :
　🟡 $0.60/$2.50 per 1M tokens
　🟡 No thinking, pure execution

2️⃣ Kimi VL Thinking:
　🟡 Crushes math/multimodal tasks
　🟡 Actually "thinks" through problems

Local AI vs Cloud for coding: Privacy & offline access vs performance & features. Local wins for sensitive code, cloud wins for complex tasks. Your call: Ollama for control, OpenAI for capabilities. Most devs need both. 🤖💻

Switch AI models mid-conversation without losing context. Need Claude's reasoning for architecture but want GPT for quick code gen? Just click and go. No more opening new windows or explaining your project again. The right model for each moment, seamlessly. 🔄

Open source AI just got serious

Kimi K2 is the first model that doesn't make me miss Claude for coding tasks
53.7% LiveCodeBench score (beats GPT-4)
Real tool execution that actually works

Top up $5 → get $8 bonus (total: $13)
Top up $21 → get $34 bonus (total: $55)
Top up $89 → get $144 bonus (total: $233)

Browser tool isn't just for Claude anymore. Gemini, GPT-4.1, Mistral, Qwen - any model that can see images gets the full browsing experience. Why should Claude have all the fun scrolling through your web app and finding that CSS bug you missed? Visual debugging for everyone! 👀

Stop writing "fixes everything (hopefully)" at 2 AM. AI-generated commit messages analyze your unstaged changes and create descriptive history. But remember: git history matters! Use this wisely, or you'll explain that 47-file commit to your future self. The Git Police are watching 👮♂️

🚨 Anthropic just dropped new API rate limits.

This changes everything for power users building with Claude. The AI pricing playbook strikes again - but what does this really mean for developers scaling AI products?

AI tools that let you burn through 100% of your context window are doing you a disservice. We automatically block file reads over 80% usage. Think of it as a smart bouncer for your token budget. Your future self will thank you for keeping this protection enabled. 🛡️

Edit a message from 10 steps back and watch AI automatically undo previous work and continue from that point. It's like having a time machine for your coding sessions. Made a wrong turn? Just edit that earlier message and watch the timeline correct itself. Doc Brown approved 🕰️

Anthropic just announced they're imposing weekly limits. Just like a lot of companies before them, we're seeing the results of subscription-based AI services.

How AI Models Use APIs (They Don't) And How We Actually Make Them Do It

MCP is the missing piece that makes AI assistants actually useful. Instead of being limited to built-in tools, your AI can now adapt to YOUR workflow. GitHub integration? Database queries? Custom APIs? All possible.
