Kimchi.dev – managed AI endpoints that scale to your VPC, no migration
FreeAbout Kimchi.dev – managed AI endpoints that scale to your VPC, no migration
Kimchi Coding is a complete AI-powered coding platform that combines a CLI coding agent, an inference layer, and a spend console into a single open-source tool. It leverages frontier open‑source models (e.g., Kimi‑K2.7, Minimax‑M3, Nemotron‑3) with automatic multi‑model orchestration that routes tasks to the best model per job type and cost. Key workflows include /ferment, which autonomously breaks tasks into milestones and delivers a finished pull request without babysitting, and /code for interactive, conversational code sessions. The platform offers one‑command migration from Claude Code (preserving MCP servers and skills), an evaluator that grades each milestone for regressions and edge cases, and /teleport for persistent remote workspaces. A free Community tier provides generous rate limits, while paid plans add priority speed, larger context windows, remote workspaces, and self‑hosted VPC deployment for enterprises.
