This is the multi-model thesis in a nutshell. Different tasks want different tradeoffs on latency, cost, and reasoning.
The smart move was never one super-model that does it all. It's matching the right model to each task and switching freely as better ones show up.
It's why Kilo is model-agnostic from the ground up. 500+ models, switch mid-task, pay per token at the provider's own price.
When even OpenAI is routing between models inside their own product, picking the best model for the job stops being a preference and starts being the
A lot of AI coding tools arrive in JetBrains as embedded webviews. That can create friction with layout, focus, shortcuts, and theming — the small things that make a plugin feel separate from the IDE.
Some VS Code-specific features are still being ported, especially the ones that depend on VS Code APIs. The GA release covers the core workflow today: chat, commands, mentions, MCP, model selection, and attachments.
OpenAI's GPT 5.6 family dropped today.
5.6 Sol, Luna and Terra are all available in Kilo Code right now.
As a first test, we asked 5.6 Sol to "Create the most detailed, 3D globe/space simulator that you can in HTML."

Europe's AI strategy is open weights. Nobody decided this. It's what's left when you have one frontier lab, no gigafactory live, and no fabs.
Now Beijing is discussing export controls on Chinese models, open weights included. Europe's default just became a bet.
"Open" doesn't mean safe from geopolitics. Europe is already locked out of Llama 4. The license bans EU-based companies, citing "regulatory uncertainties" around the AI Act.
No sanction, no vote. A legal department decided. Beijing's version works the same way: one meeting,
Genuine question for EU builders: if you're on GLM / DeepSeek / Kimi today, what's your plan when the next release doesn't ship weights?

Big day for Ollama! When we started, open models and the open source AI ecosystem were in their early days with few believers.
Our belief in open source has never wavered.
With today's fundraising announcement and our 9M+ active builders, we’re ready to scale open models into
