The model-agnostic, IDE-agnostic, inference-agnostic, open-source coding agent that 3 million developers trust—now with enterprise security, governance, and observability at scale.
Cline CLI Preview is available. After months of work, Cline is now a standalone service powered by Cline Core, exposing a gRPC API for scriptable automation, multi-instance orchestration, and building custom interfaces. The agent loop that works anywhere.
The Cline CLI (Preview) completes our vision of full agnosticism. One agent loop, Cline Core, that can run on any model, any surface, and any inference. The primitive for AI coding that enables everyone to build their own interfaces. Now available for Linux and macOS.
The gap between open and closed source AI models is narrowing faster than expected. This week's releases of Sonnet 4.5 and GLM-4.6 exemplify this convergence, with real-world data showing performance differences measured in basis points, not percentage points.
In v3.31, we're making Cline feel more natural to interact with. Three features that reduce the friction between what you want to build and getting it built.
Cline is model agnostic, inference agnostic, and now platform agnostic -- running natively in JetBrains alongside VS Code. Your models, your providers, your IDE, no lock-in at any layer.
With LLMs multiplying fast, our new Fundamentals module helps you master model selection, tradeoffs, and coding workflows.
We’re launching AI Coding University to help developers build the core skills for agentic coding.
xAI extends free Grok access while we ship GPT-5 optimizations that actually matter for real coding tasks.

From the jump, we've envisioned a bolder path forward in AI coding. While others perfect tab autocomplete, we've been building a truly collaborative coding agent that transforms how software gets created. From day one, we've given engineers full, unrestricted access to frontier models—exactly as they were designed to be used. No context limitations, no artificial constraints to fit subscription economics. This is AI coding in its purest form. What does this mean in practice? Cline reads entire
At Cline, we're committed to creating the best possible open-source coding agent for developers. Today, we're introducing anonymous telemetry to help us understand how our Cline is actually being used and where we can make meaningful improvements. Privacy-First Telemetry We've designed our telemetry system with your privacy as the top priority: * Completely anonymous - we use PostHog to collect aggregated usage data that cannot be traced back to individuals * Strictly limited scope - we onl
Remember when installing new apps meant typing cryptic commands into a terminal, manually resolving dependencies, and praying nothing would break? That's kind of where we are with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers right now. But not anymore. Today, I'm excited to announce Cline's MCP Marketplace - think of it as the App Store for your AI's capabilities. It's our answer to making AI superpowers accessible to everyone, not just the tech-savvy few. Why This Matters A few months ago, Anthropic
Ever stared at Cline wondering if it's about to hit a wall? You're deep in a complex refactoring task, and suddenly he seems to "forget" what you were discussing just moments ago. If this sounds familiar, you're running into one of the most common yet least understood aspects of AI coding assistants: context windows. Today, we're introducing a new feature in Cline that makes this invisible limit visible: the Context Window Progress Bar. What's a Context Window, Anyway? Think of a context win
The best AI engineers I know follow a specific pattern. They don't obsess over prompt crafting – they obsess over planning. There's a reason for this, and it's not what most people think. The Reality Check Here's what typically happens when someone starts working with AI: 1. They throw requirements at the model 2. They get mediocre outputs 3. They blame their prompting skills 4. They spend hours "optimizing" prompts 5. They still get mediocre results Sound familiar? But here's what eli
