Kilo Code Now Supports GPT-5.2 (Get $30 of Model Usage for $10)

OpenAI just launched the GPT-5.2 family of models. Since we had early access, we’re excited to share that Kilo Code already fully supports all of these new models from OpenAI.

The GPT-5.2 family of models includes GPT-5.2, GPT-5.2 Pro, and GPT-5.2 Chat.

Let’s dive deeper.

GPT-5.2 Is an Extremely Powerful Model

GPT-5.2 is the most capable model family OpenAI has released to date. It is specifically designed to execute complex, end-to-end workflows with higher consistency and reliability. For Kilo users, this translates directly into:

Stronger long-context reasoning

Think: multi-file refactoring, getting up to speed with a new repo faster, and pinpointing the root cause of a bug in minutes instead of hours.

Reliable multi-step tool use across large inputs

Let’s say you want to do a refactor that touches multiple files. We all know how hard this is to do reliably with non-SOTA models. GPT-5.2 is optimized for this specific task, so expect far fewer WDM (why did it modify that?) moments.

Sharply improved vision + UI understanding

We often want to upload a screenshot or two and let the LLM convert that image into usable code. GPT-5.2 was optimized with this in mind. It can read and reason over charts, understand UI layouts and screenshots, and convert them into front-end components (think: React/HTML/clean CSS code).

We created a 2D version of a 2026 World Cup game using a single prompt in GPT-5.2. Check out this video to see how it turned out:

How we made GPT-5.2 work better in Kilo Code

We tested GPT-5.2 internally for several weeks before launch and made several improvements to make this model family work great within Kilo Code:

• Implemented native tool calling, resulting in faster and more reliable performance.

• We implemented a tool similar to OpenAI’s apply_patch tool, allowing you to create, update, and delete files in your codebase using structured diffs.

• We’ve migrated to OpenAI’s Responses API.

• We implemented reasoning-trace preservation between requests. The goal here is to have more consistent performance across requests.

• We now have extended prompt caching (up to 24 hours) for the OpenAI provider.
