This week, remote-first AI coding startup Kilo, backed by GitLab co-founder Sid Sijbrandij, launched Kilo CLI 1.0, a revamped command-line tool supporting over 500 AI models, such as Alibaba’s Qwen, with features like a memory bank for maintaining context across sessions. This open-source tool pivots away from IDE-centric models to support seamless developer workflows across terminals, IDEs, and platforms like Slack, aligning with industry trends toward flexible, agentic AI tools in diverse development environments. Kilo’s commitment to open-source development not only attracts community contributions but also enhances their product’s adaptability and scalability, reflecting a broader trend in the tech industry.
