Add Synap to kilo.json
The CLI reads providers from
~/.config/kilo/kilo.json. In VS Code: Settings → Providers → Custom provider, with the same base URL, key and model.{ "provider": { "synap": { "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible", "name": "Synap", "options": { "baseURL": "https://synap.linkrra.com/v1", "apiKey": "{env:SYNAP_API_KEY}" }, "models": { "qwen3-coder-30b": {} } } } } -
Give it a job
Name the Synap model you just added.
kilo run -m synap/qwen3-coder-30b "your task"
Notes, prices and limits
A custom OpenAI-compatible provider. Kilo reads the model list itself. Recommended model: qwen3-coder-30b —
$0.0675 in and $0.27 out
per 1M tokens, 98,304-token context.
Kilo fetches the model list from /v1/models, which needs no key. If the list comes back empty, press Fetch models or type the id.
On the free tier: every request counts input and output against 100,000 free tokens a day, and answers stop at 4,096 output tokens. Coding agents send long prompts, so the free tier covers a short session; credits cover the rest.
Recorded with the Kilo CLI, which reads the same custom-provider settings as the extension.
