Kilo Code with 6bee.ai

Kilo Code is an editor agent that accepts any OpenAI-compatible provider. Enter the base URL, your key and a model ID.

Before you start

The Kilo Code extension installed in VS Code or a JetBrains IDE.
Create an account with a verified email address, add prepaid balance, then create a key on the console's API keys page. Keep the key secret.
Model IDs are listed in the console and returned by GET https://api.6bee.ai/v1/models. Replace <model id> with one of them.

Open Kilo Code’s settings (the gear icon), go to Providers, then enter:

API Provider: OpenAI Compatible
Base URL: https://api.6bee.ai/v1
API Key: <your key>
Model ID: <model id>
Model Configuration: Set Context Window Size and Max Output Tokens to the model’s caps (see Limits).

Save. Start a new task and send a short message.

Kilo Code manages the conversation itself, so it needs the model’s real limits. Enter the values for the model you chose:

Context: Input plus output up to the model’s window: 128K to 1M tokens, depending on the model.
Output: max_tokens up to the model’s output cap: 16,384 to 131,072, depending on the model. Larger values are lowered to the cap, not rejected. If omitted: 8,192 to 32,768.

Editor agents send many requests in a row. These limits apply per account, across all your keys:

Input tokens: 1,000,000 uncached tokens per rolling minute. Cache hits don’t count.
Requests: 60 per minute.
Concurrency: 2 requests at a time.

HTTP 401: The key is missing or wrong. Copy it again from the console, without spaces or quotes.
Model not found: The model ID does not match. List the valid IDs with GET /v1/models or check the console.
HTTP 429: You are over a per-account limit (requests, input tokens or concurrency). The Retry-After header says how long to wait.
HTTP 400 on long sessions: The request no longer fits the model’s context window. Compact or clear the conversation, or switch to a model with a larger window.
Request rejected for balance: Each request first reserves its input plus max_tokens of output. Top up, or lower max_tokens.
Several tasks at once return 429: The account runs 2 requests at a time. Run parallel tasks or sub-agents one after another.
