Introduction to Chronos-1
High-level overview of Kodezi Chronos-1, the debugging-first model powering repository-scale reasoning.

Chronos-1 is Kodezi’s debugging-first language model, designed to understand entire repositories, diagnose failures, and automatically generate validated fixes. It powers Kodezi OS, CLI, and Web IDE starting Q1 2026.
Chronos-1 is in development and not publicly released yet. It will be available only through Kodezi OS, CLI, Web IDE, and the API.
What Is Chronos-1?
Chronos-1 is built specifically for:
- repository-scale reasoning
- multi-file debugging
- root-cause diagnosis
- automated patch generation
- continuous validation through tests
It is not a general code assistant, it is a specialized debugging engine.
Features at a Glance
Debugging Engine
Chronos-1 analyzes errors, understands logs, interprets stack traces, and produces validated, production-ready fixes.
Intelligent Retrieval
Uses graph-based retrieval to pull only the required files, functions, and history from large codebases.
Automated Fix Loop
Runs patch → test → refine cycles automatically until a fix is validated.
