Kilo
Use aicentos in Kilo through a custom OpenAI-compatible provider
Last updated:
Kilo supports custom providers, so chat and agent requests can be pointed at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Just add a Custom Provider in the settings and fill in aicentos's Base URL and key.
Prerequisites
First create a dedicated key for Kilo on the console's "API Keys" page (naming it kilo is a good idea).
- Console: https://aicentos.com
- Create a key: https://aicentos.com/keys
- Top up when the balance runs out: https://aicentos.com/wallet
Configuration to fill in
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Provider ID / name | Custom, e.g. aicentos |
| API type | OpenAI Compatible (Chat Completions) |
| Base URL | https://aicentos.com/v1 |
| API Key | The key created in the console |
| Model ID | A model name from the Model Gallery in the console |
| Context Window | Match the chosen model |
| Max Output Tokens | Match the chosen model |
Setup steps
- Open Kilo's settings panel (gear icon).
- Go to Providers, scroll to the very bottom of the list and choose Custom provider.
- Fill in the Provider ID and Display name freely, e.g.
aicentos. - Choose OpenAI Compatible (Chat Completions) as the API type.
- Enter
https://aicentos.com/v1as the Base URL. - Enter the API Key created in the console.
- Add the Model ID manually, using the model name from the console.
- After saving, select a model under this provider in the model picker.
Test
After saving the settings, start a new task and send a simple prompt as a lightweight test; once content comes back normally, move on to real Agent-mode work.
Notes
- If the gateway does not offer a
/v1/modelslisting endpoint, automatic model detection fails; just fill in the Model ID manually. - The Base URL only goes up to
https://aicentos.com/v1; do not extend it to the full/v1/chat/completions. - Set Context Window and Max Output Tokens explicitly for custom models; leaving them out makes the context length treated as 0, which breaks auto-compaction and lets conversations grow without bound.
