Hi everyone,

I’m using Cline mainly for VBA, PowerShell, Python and Excel automation.

So far I’ve been using DeepSeek V4 Flash Free with the Cline Provider, and it works ok.

What free model do you recommend for coding and reasoning?

Is DeepSeek V4 Flash Free still one of the best options, or is there something better?

Also, is it worth adding credits for paid models, or are the free models good enough for most tasks?

Thanks!
