Request to Add A4F.co as a Supported AI Provider in KiloCode

[akashyamvedant]

Hi KiloCode Team 👋,

First of all, thank you for building such a powerful and well-structured VS Code extension for AI-powered code generation. I’ve been using KiloCode extensively and really appreciate the flexibility and developer-friendliness of your platform.

I wanted to kindly request that you consider adding A4F.co as a supported AI provider within KiloCode.

Why A4F.co?

• ✅ Offers access to multiple models like Claude Opus, GPT-4o, Gemini Pro, LLaMA 3, DeepSeek, Mistral, and more
• 💸 Affordable pricing and generous free tier
• 🔌 Unified API for 20+ model providers
• ⚙️ Very simple API structure (OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible)
• 🌐 Fast global response time and excellent uptime

Suggested Implementation

A4F’s API is similar to OpenAI’s format and looks like this:

POST https://api.a4f.co/v1/chat/completions

Headers:
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Content-Type: application/json

Body:
{
  "model": "provider-6/claude-opus-4-20250514-thinking",
  "messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "Explain recursion" }]
}

The integration would likely be as simple as adding a new provider file (e.g., a4f.ts) and a dropdown option in settings.

I’ve personally added A4F support locally in my fork and it works great. But having it officially supported in your version would benefit many developers who are looking for a cost-effective alternative to OpenAI.

If you’d like, I’m happy to contribute a pull request or provide a working example.

Thanks again for your awesome work and looking forward to your response 🙏

Warm regards,

Akashyam -

Thanks so much for this idea! I think we would be willing to take a look at a PR if you have it working in your fork.
