AI for vibe coding

AI for vibe coding

You describe what you want, an agent writes the code, and you review and steer. Some people call it vibe coding; we call it how software gets written now. This is where our writing on it collects — how it actually works, which tool fits which person, and how to run any of them on one balance instead of a stack of subscriptions

Kumo

What pays for all of this

One key for every model, one balance, the rate visible before the call

Kumo is an OpenAI-compatible gateway to Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek and more. You change one base URL, your code stays as it was, and a stack of subscriptions becomes a single balance. Kumo does not swap the model: the one you named is the one it asks the provider for

Below vendor prices

The rate sits under the vendor’s official price, and the gap widens with volume

Per token, not per month

No subscription. Lose interest in a tool and the spending stops by itself

From Russia, no VPN

A Russian card or SBP, paid in roubles, with no intermediary

A schematic: your tool calls Kumo, Kumo calls the provider of the model you named and comes back; one key and one balance the whole way

Guides for every tool and every level

Start with the basics or go straight to your tool. Everything we publish is grounded in how these tools actually behave and what they actually cost to run

The rest of the guides

Where Kumo fits

One balance behind every agent

Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Cline, Roo Code, Continue — the flexible tools all take an API key. Kumo is that key: one OpenAI-compatible endpoint in front of the whole model catalogue

One key, every tool

One base URL and one key reach Claude Opus 5, Claude Sonnet 5, GPT-5.6, Gemini 3 Flash, Grok 4.5, DeepSeek V4 Pro and every other model the price list in force publishes, so you can switch model per task without opening an account with each lab

30–50% below list

Kumo quotes an effective rate below the provider list price. The exact number depends on your usage pattern — and it is shown per model before you spend a token

Pay per token, not per seat

No subscription and no minimum: an agent session bills the tokens it actually used, out of one prepaid balance you top up by card or SBP

A key per project, and privacy

Issue a separate key for each project and revoke it in the console when the project ends. Prompt bodies are never logged — only billing metadata is kept

FAQ

Short answers before you start

Building software by describing the task to an AI agent in ordinary language: the agent writes and edits the code, you read the result and steer with the next request. The term comes from a post by Andrej Karpathy and stuck because it names something people were already doing
