Kilo Code for VS Code

In plain words

Kilo Code for VS Code is a developer tool extension that enables parallel agents to work simultaneously on coding tasks. It features an inline diff reviewer for code changes, the ability to compare results across multiple AI models, and supports delegating work to subagents. Built on OpenCode server with a portable architecture, it integrates directly into VS Code to streamline the development workflow.

We've completely rebuilt Kilo Code for VS Code, built on OpenCode server. New portable core, parallel tool calls, subagent delegation, inline code review, multi-model comparisons. Get started: kilo.ai/install

The free, open-source AI coding extension for VS Code. 500+ models, parallel agents, no vendor lock-in. Install free and start coding smarter today.

Kilo has been acquired by Anaconda! Read the full announcement: Powered by the same portable core as Kilo CLI, built on OpenCode as its open-source foundation. You get subagent delegation, parallel execution, and cross-platform sessions without leaving your editor. Kilo Sandbox adds OS-level confinement around agent tool execution, so permissions decide whether a tool runs and the sandbox decides what it can touch while running. Agents can read the context they need, but writes stay inside your workspace or explicitly allowed paths. Your repository history is protected even when the agent is running in auto-approve mode. Block direct sockets and only allow HTTP/HTTPS hosts you have approved…from kilo.ai

  Huzzah – a novel approach to coding with AIAug 2026 · danielvaughn.dev · ▲384

  Hello everyone. I've been working on this experimental editor called Huzzah. I've been working almost exclusively with coding agents since January of this year, and over the past few months I began to feel utterly exhausted by them. They're great, but I'm finding it more and more tedious to write full sentences for every change I want. Not only that, but it seems there's a complexity limit for codebases - beyond a certain point the agent begins confusing itself. I'd like to go back to writing code, but I don't want to go all the way back to fully manual coding. So I've come up with this…

  Just to clarify the background a bit. This project wasn’t planned as a big standalone release at first. On January 16, Ollama added support for an Anthropic-compatible API, and I was curious how far this could be pushed in practice. I decided to try plugging local Ollama models directly into a Claude Code-style workflow and see if it would actually work end to end. Here is the release note from Ollama that made this possible: https://ollama.com/blog/claude Technically, what I do is pretty straightforward: - Detect which local models are available in Ollama. - When…

  Talanoa▲340

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
