[Kilo CLI ](https://kilo.ai/docs/code-with-ai/platforms/cli) is a fork of [OpenCode ](https://opencode.ai/), so both connect to Fortytwo the same way. Only the commands and the config file differ. > [!NOTE] > > **Before you start:** create a Fortytwo API key and buy credits — see [Quickstart, step 1](https://docs.fortytwo.network/docs/quickstart.md#1-create-an-api-key). Give each agent its own key with a **Spend limit**. > > | Setting | Value | > | - | - | > | Base URL | `https://api.fortytwo.network/v1` | > | Model ID | `qwen/qwen3.8-27b` | **Kilo CLI** **1. Install Kilo CLI** ```bash theme={null} npm install -g @kilocode/cli ``` **2. Add Fortytwo to the config** Open `~/.config/kilo/kilo.jsonc` and add the `fortytwo` provider. For a new file: > [!NOTE] > > `~` is your home folder. Folders that start with a dot, such as `.pi`, `.config` or `.codex`, are hidden. To show them: **Cmd+Shift+.** in Finder on macOS, **View** → **Show** → **Hidden items** in File Explorer on Windows, **Ctrl+H** in most Linux file managers. ```json ~/.config/kilo/kilo.jsonc theme={null} { "$schema": "https://app.kilo.ai/config.json", "provider": { "fortytwo": { "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible", "name": "Fortytwo", "options": { "baseURL": "https://api.fortytwo.network/v1" }, "models": { "qwen/qwen3.8-27b": { "name": "Qwen3.8 27B", "reasoning": true, "tool_call": true, "limit": { "context": 262144, "output": 16384 } } } } } } ``` If the file has other settings, add `fortytwo` inside its `provider` object. If you set up [Kilo Code](https://docs.fortytwo.network/agents/kilo-code.md) in VS Code, Fortytwo is already in this file: skip this step. **3. Connect Fortytwo** 1. Start Kilo in your project folder: ```bash theme={null} kilo ``` 2. Type `/connect`, search for `Fortytwo` and select it. ![Kilo CLI: Fortytwo in the Connect a provider list](https://mintcdn.com/fortytwo-f43ac997/HbC5gKcbcuN88RH4/resources/illustrations/agents/kilo-cli-1.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=HbC5gKcbcuN88RH4\&q=85\&s=1f00b4cba0da4ce796f1e6268aeead09) 3. Paste your API key and press **Enter**. The field shows the key as plain text, so do not share your screen at this moment. 4. Kilo opens the model list. Choose **Qwen3.8 27B**. ![Kilo CLI: Qwen3.8 27B under Fortytwo](https://mintcdn.com/fortytwo-f43ac997/HbC5gKcbcuN88RH4/resources/illustrations/agents/kilo-cli-2.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=HbC5gKcbcuN88RH4\&q=85\&s=05308966e691e7207f2b7b7bce20ff75) 5. In **Select variant**, choose **medium** to turn on reasoning. The prompt shows **Qwen3.8 27B Fortytwo · medium**. ![Kilo CLI: Select variant with medium selected](https://mintcdn.com/fortytwo-f43ac997/HbC5gKcbcuN88RH4/resources/illustrations/agents/kilo-cli-3.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=HbC5gKcbcuN88RH4\&q=85\&s=220595f9d300565cd47f98a0dd0c7b74) **4. Start a task** Type a task and press **Enter**. Kilo may ask before it runs a command; choose **Allow once** or **Allow always**. To change the model later, type `/models`; to change the reasoning level, type `/variants`. ![Kilo CLI: task done on Qwen3.8 27B Fortytwo with variant medium](https://mintcdn.com/fortytwo-f43ac997/HbC5gKcbcuN88RH4/resources/illustrations/agents/kilo-cli-4.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=HbC5gKcbcuN88RH4\&q=85\&s=3715308d35d3901ce1e007f55cad125d) **OpenCode** **1. Install OpenCode** ```bash theme={null} curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/v2/install | bash ``` Open a new terminal window when the installer finishes: the `opencode` command works only there. Other install options: [OpenCode on GitHub ](https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode#installation). **2. Add Fortytwo to the config** Open `~/.config/opencode/opencode.json` and add the `fortytwo` provider. For a new file: > [!NOTE] > > `~` is your home folder. Folders that start with a dot, such as `.pi`, `.config` or `.codex`, are hidden. To show them: **Cmd+Shift+.** in Finder on macOS, **View** → **Show** → **Hidden items** in File Explorer on Windows, **Ctrl+H** in most Linux file managers. ```json ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json theme={null} { "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json", "provider": { "fortytwo": { "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible", "name": "Fortytwo", "options": { "baseURL": "https://api.fortytwo.network/v1" }, "models": { "qwen/qwen3.8-27b": { "name": "Qwen3.8 27B", "reasoning": true, "tool_call": true, "limit": { "context": 262144, "output": 16384 } } } } } } ``` If the file has other settings, add `fortytwo` inside its `provider` object. **3. Connect Fortytwo** 1. Start OpenCode in your project folder: ```bash theme={null} opencode ``` 2. Type `/connect`, search for `Fortytwo` and select it. ![OpenCode: Fortytwo in the Connect an integration list](https://mintcdn.com/fortytwo-f43ac997/HbC5gKcbcuN88RH4/resources/illustrations/agents/opencode-1.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=HbC5gKcbcuN88RH4\&q=85\&s=eee2d50e480ccffc21f38fe369df62ed) 3. Paste your API key and press **Enter**. OpenCode shows **Connected Fortytwo**. 4. OpenCode opens the model list. Choose **Qwen3.8 27B**. ![OpenCode: Qwen3.8 27B under Fortytwo, with the Connected Fortytwo message](https://mintcdn.com/fortytwo-f43ac997/HbC5gKcbcuN88RH4/resources/illustrations/agents/opencode-2.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=HbC5gKcbcuN88RH4\&q=85\&s=3540cdfb25834781708b604c59564f0b) 5. In **Select variant**, choose **medium** to turn on reasoning. ![OpenCode: Select variant with medium selected](https://mintcdn.com/fortytwo-f43ac997/HbC5gKcbcuN88RH4/resources/illustrations/agents/opencode-3.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=HbC5gKcbcuN88RH4\&q=85\&s=372d456dbba8cf61b5c909635a984fde) The prompt shows **Qwen3.8 27B Fortytwo · medium**. ![OpenCode: prompt with Qwen3.8 27B Fortytwo and variant medium](https://mintcdn.com/fortytwo-f43ac997/HbC5gKcbcuN88RH4/resources/illustrations/agents/opencode-4.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=HbC5gKcbcuN88RH4\&q=85\&s=486dc38c335205d798e5e1517c14623d) **4. Start a task** Type a task and press **Enter**. To change the model later, type `/models`; to change the reasoning level, type `/variants`. ![OpenCode: task done on Qwen3.8 27B Fortytwo with variant medium](https://mintcdn.com/fortytwo-f43ac997/HbC5gKcbcuN88RH4/resources/illustrations/agents/opencode-5.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=HbC5gKcbcuN88RH4\&q=85\&s=45acadf4019246e1aabab5d8294022d9) The model ID inside these tools is `fortytwo/qwen/qwen3.8-27b`: the provider ID, then the Fortytwo model ID. More options: [Kilo custom models ](https://kilo.ai/docs/code-with-ai/agents/custom-models), [OpenCode custom provider ](https://opencode.ai/docs/providers/#custom-provider). *** Something not working with your agent, or using one we have not listed?
