Kiro Changelog · 2026-09-14
GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna now support a 1M token context window, up from 272K, in the Kiro IDE, CLI, and Web. Entire codebases, long-form documents, and extended multi-turn agent histories fit in a single request, so repository-scale refactors, end-to-end debugging, and long-horizon agentic tasks run without chunking or losing earlier context. Credit multipliers for the GPT-5.6 family are updated with this launch and follow the two-tier context model OpenAI and Amazon Bedrock use: requests up to 272K tokens bill at the short context rate (Sol 4.4x, Terra 2.2x, Luna 1.1x), and requests above 272K tokens bill at double that rate. 1M context is rolling out gradually with experimental support to Kiro Pro, Pro+, Pro Max, and Power customers. Restart your IDE or CLI, or refresh Kiro Web, to see the updated models. Learn more ->

You no longer have to start from the default branch. When you select a GitHub or GitLab repository for a session, choose the branch to work from right in the selector. The agent clones that branch and builds on it.

New sessions now get a descriptive, agent-generated title based on what you're working on, replacing the generic default. The title appears in the session header and sidebar as soon as it's ready. Rename a session yourself and that name sticks. The agent never overwrites a title you've set.

This version makes Windows and Linux first-class installs, moves your secrets out of the config file and into an encrypted vault, and turns the dashboard into a place to edit code, not just discuss it. Every messaging channel reaches parity with Slack and three new ones arrive, MCP servers stop guessing about safe process sharing, and boot uses far less memory.
