And a new $1M Vesuvius Challenge Grand Prize will be announced in coming days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96oTlQm0KBw&t=5405s

Ex-project lead here. The most incredible part is buried in a 7 hour long video. Last night they also unwrapped 140 columns of new text in the PHerc. Paris. 4 scroll: https://x.com…

Kilo Code CEO here. This is why open source is so important!!

Kilo Code CEO here. We’d like to welcome ex-Windsurf users by offering you $100 in credits. :D We'd love to show how through open source there is a better way (better community, mo…

At Kilo we're already seeing lots of people trying it out. It's looking very good so far. Gemini 2.5 Pro had been taking over from Claude 3.7 Sonnet, but it looks like there's a ne…

Seeing the $ every time I do something, even if it's $0.50, can be a little stressful. We should have an option to hide it per-request and just show a progress bar for the current …

Yeah, my colleague just wrote about this exact problem of incentive misalignment with Cursor and Windsurf https://blog.kilocode.ai/p/why-cursors-flat-fee-pricing-will The economist…

I agree, this would be good to have soon, especially as good models keep getting smaller, and hardware keeps getting cheaper.

100% agreed on both points. Point 1 relates to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43486526 as well. It's one of the biggest challenges, though maybe it'll automatically get bette…

Thanks! That does look like a great tool.

At this point we plan to monetize enterprise features (LDAP login, things like that).

Still a small percentage! Let's get more of this happening.

Good point! In that sense we're similar to most AI coding agents in that the languages we do well are the languages the mainstream LLMs do well. We might zoom in and add really goo…

In roughly the last 2 weeks, yes. It helped that everyone involved also activated their network, so we got a multiplicative effect. Can't speak to funding for now unfortunately.

Yeah, this is a great workflow! What's more, agents are particularly good at writing tests, since they're simpler and mostly linear, so they can even help with that part. As to you…

Yes! This is high on our list. Context window compression is a big deal, and this is one of the main ways to do it, IMO. Have you tried any tools that do this particularly well?

Totally agree!

We’ll take all the features people love in other products, and implement them in a coherent package as quickly as we can.

JP here! Would love to answer your questions! We listed a bunch of ideas for larger improvements in the blog: Instant app; Up-to-date docs; Prompt/product-first workflows; Browser …

And yet few do it!

Our backers have no interest in fake metrics. ;) It's a good way to quickly get feedback, which is key to our strategy. Totally fine to keep using Roo Code (or Cline) of course!

You're too kind!! The speedrun ethos has already been super fun with this team. :) I hope that we'll also be able to bring enough skills, strategy, and taste to the space. Time wil…

Completely agree. It's useful not just for targeting one specific language, but all the other APIs that we have, and things like RAG to search for importable modules on the platfor…
