Top comment

Hey Product Hunt 👋 Brian from Kilo Code here.

We just shipped the biggest update to our VS Code extension since launch. The entire thing has been rebuilt on OpenCode server, which is the same open-source core that powers our CLI and Cloud Agents. One engine across every surface, so when we improve something, it gets better everywhere.

The headline feature is real parallelism. Kilo can now run multiple tool calls at the same time (file reads, searches, terminal commands all firing concurrently), and it can spin up parallel subagents that each handle a piece of a larger task simultaneously. You actually feel the speed difference.

A few other things shipping in this release:

  • Agent Manager — run multiple independent agents in separate tabs, give each one a role, and use git worktrees so they never step on each other's code

  • Inline code review — leave line-level comments directly on agent diffs, just like a PR review, and send them back as structured context

  • Multi-model comparisons — run the same prompt through different models side by side and pick the best result

  • Cross-platform sessions — start in the CLI, pick up in VS Code, share with a teammate

Kilo is open source, runs 500+ models at provider cost (zero markup), and has over a million developers using it. We'd love for you to try it out and tell us what you think!

Comment highlights

Looking forward to seeing what you're building with @Kilo Code!

A lot of people hit a breaking point when agents start generating more diffs than they can confidently review—how did you design the inline diff reviewer + line-comment-to-chat loop to reduce review fatigue, and what review metrics (time-to-approval, revert rate, “second pass” prompts) are you tracking to prove it works?

I’ve been using Kilo Code for a while, and this update feels noticeably faster.

The parallel tool calls are the part I felt right away. It doesn’t sit around waiting as much, especially on bigger tasks where it needs to search files, read code, or run commands. The Agent Manager is also really nice if you’re juggling a few things at once without wanting everything mixed together.

Inline review on diffs is probably my favorite addition. It makes giving feedback to the agent feel a lot closer to how I’d review a teammate’s PR.

Overall, this is a really strong update. Kilo is becoming one of the few coding tools I actually keep coming back to.

Used the old Kilo VS extension and have been using the new. Love the changes and it works smoothly. Excited to see many of the coming updates, too.

Been loving my experience with Kilo! Love the team and the speed at which things are shipped. This is just another great example of the speed at which this team can produce great work!

Been on Cursor for a while but the model lock-in is starting to bother me. The 500+ models angle here is hard to ignore. Does switching models mid-project break any context?

Using Kilo for Resume Matcher. Works really well, however, ƒor this launch. I'd suggest some features that Kilo should add. The first one is Skills, just like Claude-Code. A .kiloignore, and custom routines to be fired up to check for dependencies, security risks, and other supply chain attacks that may be in transitive dependencies. Because the more we vibe-code, the better the security should be, and the more exhaustive the reviews should be.

Been using v7 for a while, and even the versions before this. Took a while to get used to, but generally excited to see it being built on OpenCode. Can't wait for more features especially /remote 🤞🙏

Is the ability to switch between models the main reason to try this? I’m a daily user or Claude code and codex. Tried antigravity and gave up. Planning to try KimiCode. 😅 Should I add kilo code to the list?
Multi-model comparisons inside the editor is the feature I didn’t know I needed. Does it run them simultaneously or sequentially?

The parallel subagents with git worktree isolation is the part that actually makes sense to me. Every other tool just runs agents on the same files and hopes for the best. Congrats on shipping this!


How does Kilo handle context limits when you've got multiple subagents running on a large codebase? Does each subagent get its own context window or do they share?


Just curious, when multiple subagents are running in parallel, how does the merge back to the parent agent work? Does it ever create conflicts when two agents touch overlapping parts of the codebase?

Does the agent manager have any limits on how many parallel agents you can run at once, or is it just constrained by your machine's resources?

If one agent is refactoring an API and another agent is consuming that API, how do they handle the dependancy? Do they share context live or waiting for human reviews?

Came from Roo Code a few months ago and honestly haven't looked back. The migration was smoother than expected. Good luck for today!
