What's shipping.

Open-source Kin is available as a public developer alpha. KinLab is a separate proprietary hosted product in early access. This page separates what shipped from what remains in progress; exact Kin release notes live on GitHub.

Milestones

High-level, not exhaustive

  1. Open-source Kin substrate (Apache-2.0)

    Shipped

    The semantic engine, graph format, retrieval internals, and CLI are open source on GitHub under Apache-2.0. Code is parsed into a semantic entity graph you can run, read, and audit locally.

  2. Bundled MCP server: semantic tools for AI agents

    Shipped

    The MCP server bundled in Kin exposes semantic tools including locate, context packs, trace, and review. Kin setup configures supported detected clients; kin setup status is the authority for what this machine actually has configured.

  3. Kin VFS: graph-backed projection on compatible hosts

    Shipped

    The released VFS projects graph-backed files through libc interposition on compatible glibc Linux and macOS hosts. Native Windows has no VFS; Alpine/musl and some Debian 12-class hosts may run the Kin core without projection; macOS injection is subject to SIP and hardened-executable limits.

  4. Reproducible proof package

    Shipped

    A pinned internal proof harness with a gate that only counts results carrying a real tool-call trace. Its one published result is retrieval determinism, measured by a pre-registered, symmetric benchmark over a frozen 26-task suite on which the run is a statistical tie on file localization and at parity on cost. The claim and its caveats live on the proof page. The harness repository is private today, so public one-command replication is not yet available.

  5. Hosted KinLab: control plane

    In early access

    The proprietary hosted collaboration layer on top of the open substrate: a shared org graph, report-only AI semantic review, and early-access agent governance. Access is available by request.

  6. Org spine: cross-repo blast radius

    In progress

    Extending the graph across repositories so impact and provenance span an entire org, not just one project. This is the vision we are building toward, described honestly as roadmap, not a working metric.

This page stays milestone-level on purpose. The open-source repositories track the real release line. The current public release is v0.3.4 at e75570c9ac84. For dates and per-release notes, see the GitHub releases. The pre-registered symmetric benchmark behind our retrieval claims, with its reproduction steps, lives on the proof page, which publishes one result, retrieval determinism, with its caveats attached. The same run is a statistical tie on file localization and at parity on cost.
