Why I use Cline - a free VS Code plugin - for AI engineering. Saoud Rizwan has: Flexible context management: It lets you include only what's relevant, making it ideal for large codebases. Attach files, folders, URLs and problems. Visualizes how much of the context window you've used too.... Model flexibility: Cline isn't tied to one provider; it supports models from Anthropic, DeepSeek, Google Gemini, OpenAI, local models (via ollama or LM Studio) and more, allowing you to switch models for cost efficiency and capability. Plan/Act Modes: The v3.2.6 update introduces modes for designing solutions (Plan) or direct implementation (Act), providing control when you need it most. DeepSeek-R1 (Plan) + Claude 3.5 Sonnet (Act) workflow: This hybrid approach can reduce costs by up to 97% while improving output quality. DeepSeek as an architect, Sonnet for implementation. Checkpoints: Beyond git, Cline captures workspace states, offering granular rollback and comparison, especially useful for exploring solutions or debugging. Runtime awareness: Cline's integration with running systems is a game-changer, allowing real-time interaction with browsers (automatically check UI, interactions) and terminals to verify changes. Model Context Protocol (MCP): This allows for custom tool integration, making Cline extensible for specific enterprise needs without complex prompt engineering. How does it compare to alternatives? Cline shines with its system-level integration, model flexibility, and control, though it requires more attention to model selection and cost. My take: Cline aligns with professional engineering practices, offering control, visibility, and extensibility for complex system development. Totally worth considering for serious engineering teams.show more

@thankscline My @DeepInfra API request failed after few chat or in the middle of project and @thankscline doesnt respond 😭

Umesh1 year ago

@thankscline Well said. I have been @thankscline fan for a while. It is limited only by the tpm limit imposed by Anthropic but it can be overcome by either R1 or @OpenRouterAI Have you tried clinerules intensively?

@thankscline Thanks for sharing 🙌

schrepfler1 year ago

@thankscline Sweet! So far my preference was for @Sourcegraph 's Cody but jacking into browser internals is paving the way to kill the endless copy pasting of error logs or screenshots.

Addy Osmani1 year ago

@thankscline I still have to give Cody a try, but Cline's been doing a great job so far (the browser integration helps a lot)

@thankscline Is it fair to say this is an alternative to Cursor?

.OpenAI's GPT-5.1 is live in Cline. After testing the last several weeks, here's what we've found makes GPT-5.1 an exceptional model in Cline: GPT-5.1 is an obsessive researcher. It reads everything before writing anything. Where other models grab context and go, GPT-5.1 investigates thoroughly first, even for one-line changes. We found this overkill for simple tasks, and modified GPT-5.1's prompting resultantly, but a superpower when channeled right. Here's what you should expect from GPT-5.1 in Cline: > deep, systematic investigation before any edits > follows constraints religiously (specs, todo lists, your requirements) > maintains coherent reasoning with large contexts > delivers complete features with fewer corrections How we optimized Cline for GPT-5.1: 1. redesigned prompts for execution focus and stricter Plan/Act transitions 2. tightened tool specs, GPT-5.1 internalizes rules with just single examples 3. split /deep-planning investigation into two phases (read first, then search) Result: GPT-5.1 is a model that finishes what it starts, even across dozens of files and thousands of lines. Both GPT-5.1 (272K context) and GPT-5.1-codex (400K context) available now in Cline. $1.25/M input, $10/M output. Enable native tool calling in settings for best results. Use /deep-planning to see GPT-5.1 at its best. Full technical breakdown linked below.

As promised, I built a small local RAG agent to demonstrate how Model Context Protocol (𝐌𝐂𝐏) works in practice when connecting LLMs to tools and data. The agent can read, search, and list my notes; but the functionality itself isn’t the point, the protocol is. Instead of writing Gemini specific tool integrations, I connected the model to an 𝐌𝐂𝐏 server. This is why 𝐌𝐂𝐏 is highly relevant for production AI systems: • 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: one protocol instead of custom connectors per data source. • 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: the same MCP server works with Gemini, Claude, or any MCP compliant client. • 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲: models can only access explicitly exposed capabilities. 𝐌𝐂𝐏 shifts agent development from integration heavy to capability driven. Demo link in the first comment.

AutoGPT might be the next big step in AI. Here's why Karpathy recently said "AutoGPT is the next frontier of prompt engineering" AutoGPT is the equivalent of giving GPT-based models a memory and a body. You can now give a task to an AI agent and have it autonomously come up with a plan, execute on it, browse the web, and use new data to revise the strategy until the task is completed. It can analyze the market and come up with a trading strategy, customer service, marketing, finance, or other tasks that requires continuous updates. There are three components to it: 1. Architecture: It leverages GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 via API. 2. Autonomous Iterations: AutoGPT can refine its outputs by self-critical review, building on its previous work and integrating prompt history for more accurate results. 3. Memory Management: Integration with Pinecone allows for long-term memory storage, enabling context preservation and improved decision-making. 4. Multi-functionality: Capabilities include file manipulation, web browsing, and data retrieval, distinguishing AutoGPT from previous AI advancements by broadening its application scope.

OpenAI just announced API access to o1 (advanced reasoning model) yesterday. I'm delighted to announce today a new short course, Reasoning with o1, built with OpenAI, and taught by Colin Jarvis, Head of AI Solutions at OpenAI, to show you how to use this effectively! Unlike previous language models which generate output directly, o1 “thinks before it responds,” and generates many reasoning tokens before returning a more thoughtful and accurate response. It is great at complex reasoning -- including planning for agentic workflows, coding, and domain-specific reasoning in STEM fields like law. But how you should use it is quite different from other LLMs. I think o1 will be a game changer for many AI applications; and in this course, you'll learn how to use it effectively. In detail, you’ll: - Learn to recognize what tasks o1 is suited for, and when to use a smaller model, or combine o1 with a smaller model - Understand the new principles of prompting reasoning models: Be simple and direct; no explicit chain-of-thought required; use structure; show rather than tell - Implement multi-step orchestration in which o1 plans, and hands tasks over to gpt-4o-mini to execute specific steps; this illustrates a design pattern to optimize intelligence (accuracy) and cost - Use o1 for a coding task to build a new application, edit existing code, and test performance by running a coding competition between o1-mini and GPT 4o - Use o1 for image understanding and learn how it performs better with a "hierarchy of reasoning," in which it incurs the latency and cost upfront, preprocessing the image and indexing it with rich details so it can be used for Q&A later - Learn a technique called meta-prompting, in which you use o1 to improve your prompts. Using a customer support evaluation set, you'll iteratively use o1 to modify a prompt to improve performance You'll also learn about how OpenAI used reinforcement learning to produce a model that uses "test-time compute" to improve performance. I think you'll find this course enjoyable and valuable. Please sign up for it here:

I have been testing DeepSeek-V4-Pro with the Pi coding agent. I am mindblown by how well it works out of the box. A few notes: I spent a few hours building an LLM wiki with an agent powered entirely by DeepSeek-V4-Pro on Fireworks inference. This is the first time I feel like there is an open-weight model that can reason at the level of Claude and Codex. And it does this in a cost-effective way with support for 1M context length. To be clear, I am using DeepSeek-V4-Pro inside of Pi without any special configuration. It works out of the box. It's exciting that there is a model that can just be plugged into a basic harness like Pi, and it just works. I've never seen that before. Most models require lots of configuration and setup. DeepSeek's DeepSeek-V4-Pro is clearly good at agentic coding (probably the best from the open-weight models), but the model is also great on knowledge-intensive tasks where reasoning matters. The agent pulled agentic engineering best practices from different company docs (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Stripe, Meta, Modal, DeepSeek, Mistral, Cohere), searched and digested Reddit and HN threads, summarized arxiv papers, and surfaced trending GitHub repos. Then it distilled everything into actionable tips across categories. I love the Wiki it built. The quality is really good. Here is a snapshot of what the wiki looks like: DeepSeek-V4-Pro handled the task without breaking stride. Multi-step research queries, code generation for scaffolding, context-heavy reasoning across disparate sources. For coding specifically, this is the first open-weight model that genuinely feels like a Codex or Claude Code experience. It compares in capability and actual multi-turn agentic work. What made the loop feel so responsive was Fireworks' inference speed (the fastest in the market) and the fact that they actually validate models at the systems level before shipping. No corrupted reasoning traces. Just fast, reliable iteration. The hybrid CSA and HCA attention design cuts KV cache to just 10% and inference FLOPs by nearly 4x at 1M-token context. This is what makes the agent loop actually fast and cheap enough to run in practice. For devs who've been watching open-weight models close the gap but haven't found one that actually delivers in practice, this is the closest I've seen. Try it here:

New short course: Collaborative Writing and Coding with OpenAI Canvas! Explore new ways to write and code with OpenAI Canvas, a user-friendly interface that allows you to brainstorm, draft, and refine text and code in collaboration with ChatGPT. In the short course, created with OpenAI, and taught by , a research lead at OpenAI, you’ll learn to use Canvas to enhance your workflows. Canvas lets you go beyond simple chat interactions. It provides a side-by-side workspace where you and ChatGPT can edit and refine text or code collaboratively. This makes brainstorming, drafting, and iterating as you write feel more natural and effective. As the first major update to ChatGPT’s visual interface since its launch in 2022, Canvas gives a new, innovative approach to collaboration with AI. For instance, after writing the first version of your code, Canvas can review it and give suggestions for improvement. It can also help with debugging by adding logging, identifying problems to fix, and writing comments. In addition, you'll also learn what it takes to train the model for an interface like Canvas. In this video-only short course, you’ll: - Learn how to ask for in-line feedback and control the iteration of your work by directly editing selected areas of your text or code from the model’s output. - Learn how to access quick automation tools in a shortcut menu that allows you to modify your writing tone and length, enhance your code, and restore previous versions of your work. - Learn how to use Canvas as a research assistant tool with an example of asking the model to reason through the screenshot of a plot to write a research report, in which you can ask questions within the created report. - Ask the model to write Python code to replicate the graph seen on a screenshot image. - Go behind the scenes of how you can create a video game, such as Space Battleship, from scratch, edit it, and display it in one self-contained HTML file. - Get a real-world application example of creating a SQL database from the image of its architecture. - Understand the model training and design processes that power Canvas!

no money for grok or midjourney? this tool is for you. there's a FREE tool created by an anon dev. open-source. runs locally. 117k stars on github. it generates: > images & video > 3d models > audio > 20+ models here's how to set it up in under 5 minutes: 1️⃣download ComfyUI Desktop go to and grab the desktop app for your system. windows 10+, mac (apple silicon), or linux. it installs like any normal app, it sets up python and every dependency for you in the background. no terminal, no config files. 2️⃣open it first launch, it spins up its own environment automatically. you just wait a few seconds and you're in. you'll land on a node canvas, that's the whole interface. 3️⃣load a starter workflow top menu → Workflow → Browse Templates → Image Generation. click it. this drops a ready-made setup onto your canvas so you don't build anything from scratch. 4️⃣grab a model comfyui ships empty on purpose, the model is the brain, and you pick it. in the template, the "Load Checkpoint" node has a Download button when no model is installed. click it. it pulls one in for you (a few GB, this is the only real wait). 5️⃣install ComfyUI Manager this is the one add-on you don't skip. it lets you install models, custom nodes, and updates with a click instead of the command line. grab it from github (link in comments). it's the difference between fighting comfyui and flying in it. one honest note: an NVIDIA gpu makes this fast, apple silicon works great too, and a weak machine still runs it just slower. that's the whole setup. you now own an image, video, and 3D studio that costs you nothing per month. save this. and the next time grok or midjourney asks for your card. you won't need it. disclaimer: comfyui itself is 100% free. so are the local models (sdxl, flux, wan 2.2, ltx-2). some premium models like seedance are pay-per-use api models, only if you want top-tier quality. the free local ones cover most of what you need. (github link in the comments) follow and turn on post notification for daily AI contents.

I asked Garry Tan how to use meta prompting to get better at AI: "My partners at YC Jared Friedman and Pete Koomen showed me how to do this. You can take almost anything that you do all the time and just drop it into a context window. And then say, “Here’s a bunch of inputs and outputs." And maybe you also add a bunch of notes. And then you tell it, “Write me a prompt that can act as an agent that takes this input and makes this output over here.” You can do this for almost any type of knowledge work. And you can even introspect. "What are things you notice that I did to convert this from the input to the output?”. And then you can just start using the prompt. Initially, it’s going to suck. Because it’s just not that smart yet. But what’s funny is now, I also use it to Iterate my writing. You can be very direct, "I would never say that", "Don’t say it like this", or "Oh, you used the long word there, use the short word". Just speak to it conversationally. And then when you're happy with the output, you can use that new output to make a new prompt. "Based on this conversation, give me a better initial prompt that incorporates all the things we talked about." And you can do this with literally everything. And in theory, there’s so much it applies to that people do day-to-day. You could use it for tweets. You could use it for editing podcasts. You can use it for pretty much everything. I have a folder of prompts that I use all the time. My YouTube prompt is on v27 or something. I'll go through this process with all the different max models. I'll use GPT 5.2 Pro. I’ll use Grok. I'll use Claude. Then, I’ll take all the outputs from all the models and put them into Claude and say "Here’s my prompt, here’s the output from four LLMs, including yourself. Rate each response and tell me what the pros and cons of each approach are." And I usually say "give it to me in numbered form". And then you can agree with one, disagree with two, tell it three is this or that. And then after that, you say given all of this, synthesize it."

We made a thing! Very happy to announce sqlcoder-pro and the Defog Alignment Platform. Available to use immediately without a wait-list, weights will be open-sourced very soon. The video does a quick show and tell comparison against ChatGPT (with gpt-4o). Read on for more details! TLDR 💪 equal (or better) performance on text-to-SQL as the most capable Claude-3.5 or GPT-4 models 🤝 You can use it today on a free plan/free trial, without a waitlist 🪽 self-hostable on a single RTX4090, with 2 second median generation times for SQL queries 🔁 exactly the same output every time, give the same prompt 👨🏻‍🏫 teachable and steerable: show the model what you want it to do 🛞 debuggable – you can understand WTF is going on inside the model, instead of treating it like a black box Let's dig into each of these one-by-one! Performance SQLCoder-8b-pro significantly exceeds the performance of our previous sqlcoder-8b model on Postgres text-to-SQL (from 88.2% to 90.2% accuracy - gpt-4o is at 87.6%, for reference). It is also better at following instructions. This was done via self-merges, hand crafted fine-tuning data, and adapting the training data to fit our tokenizer. Cost You can host this on the model on a single $3,500 RTX4090, and support ~5 requests/second via VLLM. If you're looking to host on the cloud instead, you can run it on a single L4 GPU that costs $300/mo on GCP Repeatability We have a dense 8b model with no MoE shenanigans. For the same prompt with temperature=0, you'll always get the same answer – which is critical in BI. Teachable In our alignment and feedback modes, you can give the model feedback on how it answered certain questions, and it will automatically adapt to the feedback. Debuggable You can use logprobs and attention scores to determine where, exactly is the model paying attention to inside a prompt + what it's getting confused by when generating outputs. Available today You can use Defog on the cloud today by going to docs[dot]defog[dot]ai, and getting an API key. Excited to hear what you think!

Introducing the new Box Agent. The Box Agent works across your entire Box file system, maintaining all your security and access controls, and is hyper tuned for working with enterprise content. This means you can now ask questions from all your enterprise content, search for files that were impossible to find before, deploy an agent on specific tasks on subsets of documents, analyze complex data sets, and generate or edit documents and spreadsheets via the agent. You can have the Box Agent search across your Box account to prepare for a sales meeting, analyze customer sentiment reports, process a large set of contracts for legal risk, provide insights into product development, leverage existing knowledge to answer RFPs, and thousands of other use-cases. 90% of enterprise data is unstructured data. This means most enterprise knowledge is sitting in inside of research reports, marketing assets, presentations, roadmap files, contracts, HR documents, and more. This is the critical context that agents need to be able to answer questions about a business, automate workflows, or serve up to other agents. We’ve been grinding on this for a quite a bit, and due to recent AI model advancements we’re now ready to release it to customers. Previous model generations had a difficult time knowing when to give up or keep going on a search, when to browse for files vs. use queries, how to rank files appropriately to know which version of content to use, how to handle large amounts of context to comb through, and more. Due to recent breakthroughs from models like GPT-5.4, Opus 4.6, and Gemini 3, we’ve seen major gains in tool calling, code execution, advanced reasoning, and more. Combined with an agent harness tuned to Box context, now it’s finally possible to have an agent that can work across your file system on long running tasks and actually deliver high quality results. Best of all, because the Box Agent works with any leading AI model, you’ll quickly get the gains coming out of the major labs as major new models are released. Further, openness at Box is key, so you’ll be able to call up the Box Agent from Box’s APIs and MCP server, so you can interact with Box intelligently from any other AI system. We know work happens everywhere, and we want to ensure you can access to the content you need from those places. The new Box Agent is available starting today, rolling out now for Enterprise Plus and Enterprise Advanced customers.

New course: MCP: Build Rich-Context AI Apps with Anthropic. Learn to build AI apps that access tools, data, and prompts using the Model Context Protocol in this short course, created in partnership with Anthropic Anthropic and taught by Elie Schoppik Elie Schoppik, its Head of Technical Education. Connecting AI applications to external systems that bring rich context to LLM-based applications has often meant writing custom integrations for each use case. MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how LLMs access tools, data, and prompts from external sources, and simplifies how you provide context to your LLM-based applications. For example, you can provide context via third-party tools that let your LLM make API calls to search the web, access data from local docs, retrieve code from a GitHub repo, and so on. MCP, developed by Anthropic, is based on a client-server architecture that defines the communication details between an MCP client, hosted inside the AI application, and an MCP server that exposes tools, resources, and prompt templates. The server can be a subprocess launched by the client that runs locally or an independent process running remotely. In this hands-on course, you'll learn the core architecture behind MCP. You’ll create an MCP-compatible chatbot, build and deploy an MCP server, and connect the chatbot to your MCP server and other open-source servers. Here’s what you’ll do: - Understand why MCP makes AI development less fragmented and standardizes connections between AI applications and external data sources - Learn the core components of the client-server architecture of MCP and the underlying communication mechanism - Build a chatbot with custom tools for searching academic papers, and transform it into an MCP-compatible application - Build a local MCP server that exposes tools, resources, and prompt templates using FastMCP, and test it using MCP Inspector - Create an MCP client inside your chatbot to dynamically connect to your server - Connect your chatbot to reference servers built by Anthropic’s MCP team, such as filesystem, which implements filesystem operations, and fetch, which extracts contents from the web as markdown - Configure Claude Desktop to connect to your server and others, and explore how it abstracts away the low-level logic of MCP clients - Deploy your MCP server remotely and test it with the Inspector or other MCP-compatible applications - Learn about the roadmap for future MCP development, such as multi-agent architecture, MCP registry API, server discovery, authorization, and authentication MCP is an exciting and important technology that lets you build rich-context AI applications that connect to a growing ecosystem of MCP servers, with minimal integration work.

New short course: LLMs as Operating Systems: Agent Memory, created with Letta, and taught by its founders Charles Packer and Sarah Wooders. An LLM's input context window has limited space. Using a longer input context also costs more and results in slower processing. So, managing what's stored in this context window is important. In the innovative paper MemGPT: Towards LLMs as Operating Systems, its authors (which include the instructors) proposed using an LLM agent to manage this context window. Their system uses a large persistent memory that stores everything that could be included in the input context, and an agent decides what is actually included. Take the example of building a chatbot that needs to remember what's been said earlier in a conversation (perhaps over many days of interaction with a user). As the conversation's length grows, the memory management agent will move information from the input context to a persistent searchable database; summarize information to keep relevant facts in the input context; and restore relevant conversation elements from further back in time. This allows a chatbot to keep what's currently most relevant in its input context memory to generate the next response. When I read the original MemGPT paper, I thought it was an innovative technique for handling memory for LLMs. The open-source Letta framework, which we'll use in this course, makes MemGPT easy to implement. It adds memory to your LLM agents and gives them transparent long-term memory. In detail, you’ll learn: - How to build an agent that can edit its own limited input context memory, using tools and multi-step reasoning - What is a memory hierarchy (an idea from computer operating systems, which use a cache to speed up memory access), and how these ideas apply to managing the LLM input context (where the input context window is a "cache" storing the most relevant information; and an agent decides what to move in and out of this to/from a larger persistent storage system) - How to implement multi-agent collaboration by letting different agents share blocks of memory This course will give you a sophisticated understanding of memory management for LLMs, which is important for chatbots having long conversations, and for complex agentic workflows.

Happy to properly launch Anna, the proactive AI agent for parents! Uncovering a bit of the technology behind the scenes! Building Anna is where I learned: 💾 Memory as plain text sucks. You need structured memory. Like a full-blown PostgreSQL DB that stores your tasks and calendar in a structured manner. Most harnesses are good at coding-related stuff. Let it do the query. Don't let it vibe-search the memory. Let it vibe your SQL query 💭 Dreaming is a useful concept for enhancing memory to feed the LLM context. But DO NOT vibe your dream. Asking your agent to "hey, just dream and keep the relevant memory around" is a recipe for deleting a bunch of important information and keeping trash around. Your dream needs to have some Taxonomy (or better, Ontology). What information is important? For who? With what object? What can they do? And again, these are impossible to describe and act well without a proper schema 🔄 Loop Engineering is important for smoothing out rough edges in the system we build. But even expensive loop engineering with a state-of-the-art model can't out-engineer bad system design. The highest leverage an AI Engineer can do is actually building the right system design, and having an eye on both product delight and engineering scalability There are several more insights that I plan to cover in a dedicated video about Agentic AI Engineering. But it's actually a huge relief that the future of software engineering... is still software engineering

Asking your agent to "hey, just dream and keep the relevant memory around" is a recipe for deleting a bunch of important information and keeping trash around. Your dream needs to have some Taxonomy (or better, Ontology). What information is important? For who? With what object? What can they do? And again, these are impossible to describe and act well without a proper schema 🔄 Loop Engineering is important for smoothing out rough edges in the system we build. But even expensive loop engineering with a state-of-the-art model can't out-engineer bad system design. The highest leverage an AI Engineer can do is actually building the right system design, and having an eye on both product delight and engineering scalability There are several more insights that I plan to cover in a dedicated video about Agentic AI Engineering. But it's actually a huge relief that the future of software engineering... is still software engineering
