For Roo Code

The best models for Roo Code
Pay per use

Connect Roo Code to Kyma's active open models. Auto-failback, prompt caching, OpenAI-compatible.

Multi-Mode Ready

Different models for Architect, Code, Edit, and Debug modes. Kyma lets you switch models per mode without switching providers.

Automatic fallback

For eligible failures, Kyma API tries another compatible route when available. Requests can still fail.

Prompt Caching

Repeated context? Kyma caches it, and the repeated part bills at that model's own cached-input rate: listed beside its input rate on every model page.
