# Kilo Gateway
|
|
|
|
Kilo Gateway provides a **unified API** that routes requests to many models behind a single
|
|
endpoint and API key. It is OpenAI-compatible, so most OpenAI SDKs work by switching the base URL.
|
|
|
|
| Property | Value |
|
|
| -------- | ---------------------------------- |
|
|
| Provider | `kilocode` |
|
|
| Auth | `KILOCODE_API_KEY` |
|
|
| API | OpenAI-compatible |
|
|
| Base URL | `https://api.kilo.ai/api/gateway/` |
|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
|
|
<Steps>
|
|
<Step title="Create an account">
|
|
Go to [app.kilo.ai](https://app.kilo.ai), sign in or create an account, then navigate to API Keys and generate a new key.
|
|
</Step>
|
|
<Step title="Run onboarding">
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw onboard --auth-choice kilocode-api-key
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or set the environment variable directly:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export KILOCODE_API_KEY="<your-kilocode-api-key>" # pragma: allowlist secret
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</Step>
|
|
<Step title="Verify the model is available">
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw models list --provider kilocode
|
|
```
|
|
</Step>
|
|
</Steps>
|
|
|
|
## Default model
|
|
|
|
The default model is `kilocode/kilo/auto`, a provider-owned smart-routing
|
|
model managed by Kilo Gateway.
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
OpenClaw treats `kilocode/kilo/auto` as the stable default ref, but does not
|
|
publish a source-backed task-to-upstream-model mapping for that route. Exact
|
|
upstream routing behind `kilocode/kilo/auto` is owned by Kilo Gateway, not
|
|
hard-coded in OpenClaw.
|
|
</Note>
|
|
|
|
## Built-in catalog
|
|
|
|
OpenClaw dynamically discovers available models from the Kilo Gateway at startup. Use
|
|
`/models kilocode` to see the full list of models available with your account.
|
|
|
|
Any model available on the gateway can be used with the `kilocode/` prefix:
|
|
|
|
| Model ref | Notes |
|
|
| -------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
|
|
| `kilocode/kilo/auto` | Default — smart routing |
|
|
| `kilocode/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4` | Anthropic via Kilo |
|
|
| `kilocode/openai/gpt-5.5` | OpenAI via Kilo |
|
|
| `kilocode/google/gemini-3-pro-preview` | Google via Kilo |
|
|
| ...and many more | Use `/models kilocode` to list all |
|
|
|
|
<Tip>
|
|
At startup, OpenClaw queries `GET https://api.kilo.ai/api/gateway/models` and merges
|
|
discovered models ahead of the static fallback catalog. The bundled fallback always
|
|
includes `kilocode/kilo/auto` (`Kilo Auto`) with `input: ["text", "image"]`,
|
|
`reasoning: true`, `contextWindow: 1000000`, and `maxTokens: 128000`.
|
|
</Tip>

|
## Config example
|
|
|
|
```json5
|
|
{
|
|
env: { KILOCODE_API_KEY: "<your-kilocode-api-key>" }, // pragma: allowlist secret
|
|
agents: {
|
|
defaults: {
|
|
model: { primary: "kilocode/kilo/auto" },
|
|
},
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
```

<AccordionGroup>
|
|
<Accordion title="Transport and compatibility">
|
|
Kilo Gateway is documented in source as OpenRouter-compatible, so it stays on
|
|
the proxy-style OpenAI-compatible path rather than native OpenAI request shaping.
|
|
|
|
- Gemini-backed Kilo refs stay on the proxy-Gemini path, so OpenClaw keeps
|
|
Gemini thought-signature sanitation there without enabling native Gemini
|
|
replay validation or bootstrap rewrites.
|
|
- Kilo Gateway uses a Bearer token with your API key under the hood.
|
|
|
|
</Accordion>
|
|
|
|
<Accordion title="Stream wrapper and reasoning">
|
|
Kilo's shared stream wrapper adds the provider app header and normalizes
|
|
proxy reasoning payloads for supported concrete model refs.
|
|
|
|
<Warning>
|
|
`kilocode/kilo/auto` and other proxy-reasoning-unsupported hints skip reasoning
|
|
injection. If you need reasoning support, use a concrete model ref such as
|
|
`kilocode/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4`.
|
|
</Warning>
|
|
|
|
</Accordion>
|
|
|
|
<Accordion title="Troubleshooting">
|
|
- If model discovery fails at startup, OpenClaw falls back to the bundled static catalog containing `kilocode/kilo/auto`.
|
|
- Confirm your API key is valid and that your Kilo account has the desired models enabled.
|
|
- When the Gateway runs as a daemon, ensure `KILOCODE_API_KEY` is available to that process (for example in `~/.openclaw/.env` or via `env.shellEnv`).
