stagewise
An agent orchestrator for software engineers
stagewise is an agentic IDE and agent orchestrator for software engineers that runs coding agents across frontier, open-weight, and locally deployed models. It addresses the need to work with different model providers without lock-in, supporting stagewise Cloud Inference, bring-your-own API keys and subscriptions, or local inference through providers such as Ollama, vLLM, and Llama.cpp. The IDE is fully open source under the AGPLv3 license.
The agent harness is designed to maximize cache-hit rates and manage context dynamically for long-running tasks, keeping the conversation prefix stable and sending compact state deltas when the environment changes. It can run multiple agents in parallel, each handling independent features or bug fixes. stagewise supports providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, MiniMax, and aggregators such as OpenRouter and fireworks.ai, with a recommended minimum context size of 150k tokens.
stagewise is aimed at individual developers and teams, with an Enterprise edition offering regulatory and audit compliance, global inference configuration, SSO via OIDC and SAML, SCIM provisioning, and optional self-hosting of stagewise Cloud. Pricing includes a free Hobby plan with limited access to standard models and BYOK support, paid Pro and Ultra editions with access to all models and additional usage credits, and a custom Enterprise plan.
