You're not alone in only being able to keep one agent busy.
But I think 2026 is going to be the year that that changes.
Our parallel functionality, where you farm it out to multiple agents in multiple work streams,
that's just getting started.
A month ago, the engineer who made Schaltwerk, one of the early ways to parallelize things, joined us and he's doing amazing work.
There's still a lot to do.
For example, Kilo has a functionality that's orchestrate.
With orchestrate, you say, this is what I want to achieve.
and split it up into separate jobs.
So each of those jobs have small context windows because small context windows means it's cheaper to run, it's faster to run, but most importantly, it's not going to lose half of its context because it's kind of getting to the maximum context window that's effective.
but in the common weeks we'll ship something where those different agents are now able to work in parallel and you can do a runoff especially if you're using these free models you might as well have two models work and then see which ones have which one has a better result
So I think we're going from you have one working directory today to in the future you have multiple tasks running in parallel, and each of those tasks is running multiple types of agents because it's hard to predict up front which agent will be the best in any given thing.
Right.
If you go to Kilo.ai and you look at our homepage, we see the 10 most popular models for Kilo.
I tried to count them this morning and I think eight out of 10 offer free usage today.
So that's a way to afford it.
There is no catch.
Well, it might be that this whole thing ends at some point, where these models... Yeah, the catch is it's temporary, maybe.
Where these models... But what we've seen over time, this has been going on for half a year now,
And there's models that kind of launch for free, and at some point they become paid.
