    OSS MODELS

    Built for OSS models.

    • No rate limits or token caps
    • Automatically orchestrates models by task type and cost
    • Frontier OSS models via our Minimax partnership

    /FERMENT WORKFLOW

    Hand off the task.
    Come back to a finished PR.

    A workflow that allows you to plan upfront, approve once and forget the terminal. The agent builds through each milestone autonomously — a PR appears when it's done, not a question.

    CODE SESSION

    Stay in the loop. Have more control.
    Make it quick.

    The standard coding agent conversation powered by our open source model orchestration. Interact more closely with the agent and stir it exactly in the direction you want.

    ONE COMMAND SETUP

    Migrate from Claude Code. Keep everything.

    On first run, kimchi setup detects existing Claude Code and OpenCode installations MCP servers, skills, configuration and offers to migrate in one prompt.

    ┌  Claude Code configuration found
    │  MCP servers: filesystem, github, ripgrep
    │  Claude Code skills: 4 in ~/.claude/skills
    │  OpenCode skills: 2 in ~/.config/opencode/skills

    BUILT IN MODEL ORCHESTRATION

    Right model per task. Automatic.

    The orchestrator classifies each task and routes to the best model specialized sub-agents run security audits, tests, and analysis in isolated parallel contexts. Turn multi-model off to lock a single provider.

    EVALUATOR

    Every task is graded before it ships.

    After each milestone, a high-reasoning model scores the output against the original intent catching regressions, half-done work, and silent failures before they compound. Use Opus, Kimi, or whatever model you trust most for the job.

    /TELEPORT

    Hand off to a remote workspace.

    Run /teleport to provision a persistent sandbox pre-loaded with your tools, skills, and agent state. Close the lid — the session keeps running. Reconnect via /sessions or VS Code Remote SSH.

    Kimchi Studio

    All the power of the CLI harness but inside a visual kanban UI. Chat with an agent to set up tasks, then watch them run in parallel.

    Remote Agents

    Spin up coding agents that run remotely in the cloud. Kick off long tasks from anywhere and pick up the results when they're done — no local machine required.

    Console analytics

    Know exactly what your team spends on AI coding.

    Coding-specific reports in the Kimchi console. Usage, cost, and performance broken down by user, tag, API key, and team not just aggregates, but the drill-down your finance team actually needs.

    Kimchi console — coding agent report
    Budget controls

    Spend limits for
    total ease of mind.

    Use AI freely without worrying about runaway bills or end-of-month surprises. Define spend caps per API key, per user, per team, or across the whole org — and stay in control.

    • Per API key set limits for CI/CD pipelines, bots, or contractors
    • Per user every developer has their own budget with real-time visibility
    • Per team finance gets a clean number; engineering keeps shipping
    • Per org hard ceiling across all keys, users, and teams so total spend never exceeds your number
