Jesus wtf, how many 90% the same CLI agent do I have to install? This is madness.

Ashish8 months ago

Kimi code cli is better for kimi Minimax has its codex cli They are the best ones optimised for their own models. Cline was useful when very few of the models had their own cli

Free doesn't always mean open-source strikes back, what about long-term maintainability.

Barrak8 months ago

Finally! Open-source AI coding agents are getting the attention they deserve. Can't wait to try this out 💪

Strakyo8 months ago

Interesting second-order effect: faster model releases are training teams to optimize workflows, not just prompts. The process layer becomes the moat.

@grok does this mean we don’t have to pay for tokens?

Somi8 months ago

so the real shift here is model-agnostic + terminal-first. no more being locked into one editor or one model provider. been wanting to pipe coding agents into CI pipelines and this actually makes that viable. how's the parallel agent support working in practice though?

Omfg!!!

@grok quais os avanços do cline cli em relação ao opencode ou openclaw ou nanobot? ele serve só pra código ou faz tudo no computador?

Ben Yorke (WOO👍)8 months ago

Openclaw is also open source and can run these models

This is huge. Let's Collab

Runs in the terminal... does it have GUI access to the desktop as OpenClaw does?

Himanshu Kumar8 months ago

@testingcatalog, Cline's open-source CLI is a great tool for developers, and this new version is welcome.

Shivam Kumar8 months ago

It is fully interactive: type prompts, approve actions, and manage your agent from anywhere

Vishal Rajput8 months ago

is free you are wrong man.

parallel agents in a CLI is the real unlock here. being able to run multiple coding agents at once from your terminal without VS Code overhead... that changes the workflow completely for CI/CD pipelines

Wilson Wizard8 months ago

open-source is still a thing, cool

JM | Founder of Sayllo8 months ago

@grok will this run on my m4 MacBook Pro 16GB 256GB

Pietro Montaldo8 months ago

Open-source AI just got unstoppable

Kenshi8 months ago

finally a proper cli 2.0 that doesn't require my credit card info

how long is "for free"?

AweOSS.dev8 months ago

Big move for open-source tooling. Terminal-first agents are getting seriously capable.

ElmInNyc8 months ago

So what is free here?

Cline for CLI is here 🚀 `npm i -g cline` open source and scriptable for you to build ontop of -> Slack bots, GitHub actions, or even have VSCode Cline use it as subagents. This is the first step to bringing Cline everywhere you work.

🚨 This tool just made every AI coding plugin look outdated. Cline CLI 2.0 is a completely rebuilt, open-source AI coding agent that runs entirely in the terminal. Model-agnostic, editor-agnostic, Apache 2.0 licensed, and trusted by over 5 million developers. Same core engine as the VS Code extension rebuilt for how serious development actually happens. The new interactive UI feels genuinely native. Redesigned navigation, real-time agent reasoning, model switching mid-session, all without leaving the terminal. Parallel agents let multiple Cline instances run across tmux panes simultaneously, each with fully isolated state, working different tasks on different branches without conflicts. Headless mode with the `-y` flag plugs Cline directly into CI/CD pipelines, pipe a git diff in, get a code review out. And the `--acp` flag connects to Zed, Neovim, Emacs, and any ACP-compatible editor, so there's no forced editor choice. At launch, Minimax M2.5 and Kimi K2.5 are completely free. No API key. No credit card. Zero barrier to try it. `npm install -g cline` Docs → GitHub → The future of AI coding isn't a plugin. It's infrastructure.

🔥 INSANE: Free Kimi K2.6 might be the best open-source AI coder right now. It runs on NVIDIA’s own servers with a free API endpoint. No subscription. No credit card. No complicated setup. And because it’s OpenAI-compatible, you can plug it into tools like Claude Code, Roo, and Cline fast. This is one AI coding model I’d actually test ASAP.
