| # Using Poolside With Kilo Code | ||
|
|
||
| Kilo Code supports accessing Poolside's Laguna models directly through Poolside Platform. | ||
|
|
||
| **Website:** [https://poolside.ai/](https://poolside.ai/) | ||
|
|
||
| {% callout type="tip" %} | ||
| Poolside models are also available through [Kilo Gateway](/docs/gateway). Free models require no authentication; paid models use your Kilo account — see [Authentication](/docs/getting-started/setup-authentication) to sign in, and [Kilo Gateway authentication](/docs/gateway/authentication) for how the Gateway handles free and paid access. | ||
| {% /callout %} | ||
|
|
||
| ## Getting an API Key | ||
|
|
||
| 1. **Sign Up/Sign In:** Go to [Poolside Platform](https://platform.poolside.ai/). Create an account or sign in. | ||
| 2. **Open API Keys:** Open **API Keys**. | ||
| 3. **Create a key:** Click **New key**. | ||
| 4. **Copy the key:** Copy the key and store it securely. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Configuration in Kilo Code | ||
|
|
||
| Poolside is available as a **built-in provider** in Kilo Code, so you can connect it directly — no custom provider setup needed. | ||
|
|
||
| {% tabs %} | ||
| {% tab label="VSCode" %} | ||
|
|
||
| Open **Settings** (gear icon) and go to the **Providers** tab. Click **Show more providers**, then search for and select **Poolside** and enter your API key. | ||
|
|
||
| {% /tab %} | ||
| {% tab label="CLI" %} | ||
|
|
||
| Run `kilo`, then use the `/connect` command, search for and select **Poolside**, and enter your API key when prompted: | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| kilo | ||
| # then, inside Kilo, run: | ||
| /connect | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| {% /tab %} | ||
| {% /tabs %} | ||
|
|
||
| Kilo stores the API key in its `auth.json` credential store. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Tips and Notes | ||
|
|
||
| - **Models:** See [Poolside supported models](https://docs.poolside.ai/get-started/supported-models) for capabilities and context windows. Use the [`/models` endpoint](https://docs.poolside.ai/api/openai-api-examples) for current model IDs. | ||
| - **API:** Kilo Code connects to Poolside through the OpenAI-compatible API at `https://inference.poolside.ai/v1`. See the [Poolside API documentation](https://docs.poolside.ai/api/overview). |
