Khoj vs Sourcegraph
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Khoj and Sourcegraph — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Khoj vs Sourcegraph: at a glance
What is Khoj?
Khoj gave its assistant long-term memory, then started winding down its own cloud.
The 2.0 beta line is doing two things at once. In February it gave Khoj long-term memories, moving the assistant from per-conversation context to knowledge that persists across sessions. Six weeks later it began deprecating Khoj cloud — a banner warning hosted users, and the subscribe option removed from the web app's settings page. The same release upgraded the web app to Next.js 15 and fixed the research agent stopping earlier than it should.
What is Sourcegraph?
Sourcegraph is rebuilding code search as the retrieval layer coding agents rent.
Sourcegraph's output splits cleanly in two: a steady stream of essays arguing that codebase-scale ownership is the unsolved problem in AI-assisted engineering, and two actual product launches aimed at agents rather than humans. Code Finder runs its own search loop and returns exact files and line ranges to a coding agent; Agentic Batch Changes is an agent that scopes and lands migrations across hundreds of repositories. The company also published a benchmark claiming a cheaper model paired with its MCP server beat a frontier model working alone on large-codebase tasks.

Khoj gave its assistant long-term memory, then started winding down its own cloud.
◆ Current state
The 2.0 beta line is doing two things at once. In February it gave Khoj long-term memories, moving the assistant from per-conversation context to knowledge that persists across sessions. Six weeks later it began deprecating Khoj cloud — a banner warning hosted users, and the subscribe option removed from the web app's settings page. The same release upgraded the web app to Next.js 15 and fixed the research agent stopping earlier than it should.
◆ Where it's heading
Khoj is consolidating around the self-hosted product and the model layer beneath it, and stepping back from running the hosted service. Model support has been broadening steadily — Gemini Pro 3, Minimax M2, Nano Banana image editing, configurable fallback models with admin-set priority — while Stability AI image generation was dropped. The client work follows the same logic: Obsidian batch sync, file query filter autocomplete, reference copying, all aimed at people running their own instance against their own files.
◆ Prediction
With subscriptions already disabled and a deprecation banner live, the next step for the hosted service is a shutdown date. The entries stop in late March 2026, so whether 2.0 has left beta since is not visible here.
Sourcegraph
7.5AI-ASSISTANTS
Sourcegraph is rebuilding code search as the retrieval layer coding agents rent.
◆ Current state
Sourcegraph's output splits cleanly in two: a steady stream of essays arguing that codebase-scale ownership is the unsolved problem in AI-assisted engineering, and two actual product launches aimed at agents rather than humans. Code Finder runs its own search loop and returns exact files and line ranges to a coding agent; Agentic Batch Changes is an agent that scopes and lands migrations across hundreds of repositories. The company also published a benchmark claiming a cheaper model paired with its MCP server beat a frontier model working alone on large-codebase tasks.
◆ Where it's heading
The pitch is shifting from 'search your code' to 'agents search your code badly and expensively, so buy ours.' Every recent essay lays groundwork for that argument — migration tools that can't see the whole codebase, security findings that stop at one repo, agents that read files without leaving a record. The compliance-first framing of scoped retrieval as an audit trail suggests the enterprise packaging is being written now.
◆ Prediction
Expect Agentic Batch Changes to move from public beta toward general availability with usage-based pricing, and expect the agent-provenance argument to surface as a named feature rather than a blog theme.
