Klaat Code

  The terminal-native AI coding agent, powered by Klaatu smart model routing.
  Claude Code-grade accuracy, at a fraction of the cost — and it's reproducible, not a marketing claim.

What is KlaatAI?

KlaatAI is an AI platform built around Klaatu-o1, a small, fast, agentic router model. Instead of sending every request to one large, expensive model, Klaatu-o1 reads what you're asking, decides which model tier actually needs to handle it, and dispatches accordingly — automatically, per request. Three products sit on top of it: KlaatAI Web Chat (browser), Klaat Code (this CLI), and the KlaatAI API for developers building on the same router directly.

What is Klaatu?

Klaatu is the routing brain — a hosted service, not something that runs on your machine. Every message you send from Klaat Code goes to Klaatu, which classifies it and routes it through one of six cost tiers (nano → fast → code → reason → heavy → titan), escalating automatically when a task turns out harder than it looked, and never charging you frontier prices for a trivial turn. Tool calls inside a single request — reads, edits, shell commands, searches — are free; only your messages count against quota. This is also the architectural reason Klaat Code can be open source without giving away the thing that makes it good: the client is a thin terminal to a service, the same relationship gh has to GitHub. The intelligence — routing decisions, model health tracking, pricing, the code-graph index — lives server-side, at klaatai.com.

What is Klaat Code, and how is it different?

Klaat Code is this repo: a terminal-native coding agent you install once and run in any project. It reads your code, edits files, runs commands, and verifies its own work — asking permission before anything risky.…
