}What changes when you add ANT
Inline completions in 200ms
ant:fast routes to the fastest available model. No lag, no waiting. Your typing flow stays unbroken.
Deep refactoring with ant:best
Complex module rewrites go to Claude Opus or GPT-5. The quality difference is immediate.
Free experimentation
ant:free lets you prototype, learn, and iterate without spending a cent. Llama, Gemma, Qwen — all free.
No vendor lock-in
New model drops tomorrow? ANT adds it to the catalog automatically. Your Kilo keeps getting better.
Automatic failover
Provider down at 2 AM? Kilo keeps working. ANT routes around outages seamlessly.
30-50% cost savings
Stop paying GPT-5 prices for docstring generation. ANT uses cheap models for simple tasks, frontier for hard ones.
