OpenAIconfigure kilo
Kilo Code (CLI)
Kilo Code (CLI): configure the API key, model and provider in your terminal.
Published instructions · App version: unverified
Chat, ping, invoke and content-generation examples may send real billable requests. Check the model, balance, rate and minimum before running them. GET /v1/models checks authentication and the catalogue only. Set up environment variables safely
Base URL to paste
OpenAI SDKs generally use a URL ending in /v1; Anthropic SDKs use the root URL. Avoid adding /v1 twice. Protocol compatibility does not guarantee every provider feature.
