Alibaba's qwen-code Reaches 26,966 Stars and Kilo's kilocode 26,847 — Two Open Terminal Coding Agents Now Neck and Neck
QwenLM/qwen-code, Alibaba's open-source terminal coding agent, sits at 26,966 stars while Kilo-Org/kilocode, billed as an all-in-one agentic engineering platform built on the most popular open-source coding agent, sits at 26,847 — a gap of about 100 stars between a frontier-lab CLI and an independent platform play. Both are TypeScript. The near-tie is the interesting datum: model-vendor-branded CLIs have not yet won the open coding-agent category the way vendor-branded harnesses have in the closed one.
