> it uses the Claude models but afaik it is constantly changing which one is using depending on the perceived difficulty

Claude Code does the same. You can disable it in Kiro by specifically setting the model to what you want rather than “auto” using /model.

Tbh I’ve found Kiro to be much better than Claude Code. The actual quality of results seems about the same, but I’ve had multiple instances where Claude Code get stuck because of errors making tool calls whereas Kiro just works. Personally I also just prefer the simplicity of Kiro’s UX over CC’s relative “flashy” TUI.
