Introducing Elephant: A New Stealth Model, Free in Kilo
An efficiency-focused workhorse from an open model lab
We love giving the Kilo community a chance to test cutting-edge capabilities before they are fully unmasked.
Today we’re thrilled to introduce Elephant, a new 100B-parameter stealth model from a prominent open model lab.
What is Elephant?
Elephant is an “instant” model designed with a primary focus on Intelligence Efficiency. In a landscape often dominated by massive, compute-heavy giants, Elephant strikes a different balance: it aims to deliver performance comparable to State-of-the-Art (SOTA) models of its scale while significantly reducing token usage.
It is specifically optimized for:
Rapid Code Completion & Debugging: Fast, logical suggestions that keep you in the flow.
Massive Document Processing: Handling long-context information without the latency typical of larger models.
Lightweight Agent Interactions: Ideal for quick, iterative tasks within an agentic workflow.
It’s a jungle out there. Elephant moves quickly to get the job done. 🐘
Technical Specs
Elephant is a text-modality powerhouse equipped with features that maximize efficiency for enterprise-style development.
Context Length: 256K tokens (enough to load entire repositories or massive dependency trees).
Max Output: 32K tokens (perfect for single-pass generation of entire modules or test suites).
Prompt Caching: Dramatically reduces costs and latency for repetitive, long-context tasks.
Function Calling & Structured Output: Built for reliable integration into agentic toolchains.
Comparison: Elephant vs. Giga Potato
Many of you will remember, Giga Potato, our most popular stealth model ever. Elephant has a similar context window and max output, but it comes from a different lab and the models were built for different roles in your development lifecycle.
For example, when it comes to powering agents that deal with documents and documentation, Giga Potato stood out for deep document generation, especially technical documentation, while Elephant excels more at rapid document processing.
Giga Potato was great at producing technical documentation. Elephant is a good fit for your KiloClaw agent that’s running through new research reports on a daily basis and turning them into suggested LinkedIn content.
Elephant is designed to be your “snappy” daily driver. It should feel leaner and faster—like a top-of-the-line appliance—without sacrificing the logic required for production-grade software engineering.
Available Everywhere in Kilo
Elephant isn’t just a chat model, it’s a fully integrated component of the Kilo ecosystem. You can start using it today for free across all our surfaces:
VS Code Extension: Try Elephant for building a new feature or landing page in one shot.
Kilo CLI: Run Elephant directly from your terminal for git-integrated agentic development.
KiloClaw: Try Elephant to keep your daily agentic tasks going with KiloClaw, the always-on AI assistant.
We encourage you to push the 256K context window to its limit and let us know how it performs on your most challenging codebases. Find this new stealth model now in the Kilo model selector—search for “Elephant” and start building your agentic pyramid.
Elephant is Free to use in Kilo during this stealth preview period.
