Agentic coding tools made writing code fast, but they confined the job to code on one vendor's models. Kilo Desktop, out today, puts the whole job in one app: 500+ frontier, open-weight, and local models with cost-based routing; agents that plan before they build; notebooks the agent edits live; conda environments drawn from 19,000+ vetted packages; and admin controls over which models, agents, and MCP servers anyone can use. It is the entry point to the rest of the Anaconda Platform, where the same vetted artifacts flow into Metaflow workflows, FastBakery images, and autonomous red-teaming before production.
