stagewise

stagewise is an agentic coding environment, pitched as an IDE for open weight models, in which software engineers run and orchestrate several coding agents at once. It works with frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI and Google, open weight models such as DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM, Kimi and MiniMax, and locally hosted models through Ollama, vLLM or Llama.cpp, using any provider that serves the OpenAI Chat Completions, OpenResponses or Anthropic APIs. Users can take preconfigured access through stagewise Cloud Inference, bring their own API keys, or connect existing coding subscriptions. The vendor says its agent harness maximizes cache hit rates and manages context dynamically for long running tasks, citing an average cache hit rate of 87.6 percent. Agents run in parallel, each implementing a feature or fixing a bug independently. A May 2026 announcement says the project is becoming an open source agentic IDE. For enterprises, the vendor lists SSO with OIDC and SAML, SCIM provisioning, an EU inference region and optional self hosting of the stagewise Cloud. Pricing is published in three tiers. Hobby is free, with limited access to three standard models and bring your own key for unlimited use and custom models. Individual starts at $20 per month, offered as Pro or Ultra with significantly higher limits, access to all models including frontier and open weight ones, extra credits and custom endpoints. Enterprise is custom priced through sales.
