Now this is kind of wild.

Artificial Analysis’ Intelligence Index puts Qwen3.8 27B at 52, right alongside GPT 5.6 Luna at 52 and just one point behind DeepSeek V4 Pro at 53.

What stands out is that Qwen3.8 27B is small enough to run locally. Seeing a local model reach this level of performance this quickly was not something we expected.

Curious to see how it holds up on real coding tasks beyond the benchmarks.

You can run it locally with Cline + Ollama:

npm i -g cline
ollama launch cline --model qwen3.8

Or use it directly in Cline with model id: qwen/qwen3.8-27b

What it gives you?

1. For text-only LLMs vision capabilities.
2. opencode go, clinepass and other subscriptions and their models in zCode harness to use as you were using them natively.

Since the DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 update, and the shift in ClinePass usage has been pretty noticeable.

V4 Pro users are up +67%, while token volume is up +100%.

This is how the current ClinePass usage looks like:

- DeepSeek V4 Flash: 43%
- DeepSeek V4 Pro: 29%
- Kimi K3: 13%
- GLM 5.2: 4%
- Others: 11%

So DeepSeek alone now accounts for roughly 70% of all tokens flowing through ClinePass.

ClinePass is our subscription for ~5x discounted access to open weight models including DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM, MiniMax, and others. It’s currently $4.99 for the first month, then $9.99/month.

You can try it through the Cline CLI: npm i -g cline

Curious what everyone here is using more right now: V4 Pro or V4 Flash?

So to be quick, TauCode is an agent that has a combination between Claude Code and OpenCode, while extending its optimization, having more access and control to your memory, your tools, more optimized for OpenAI-compatible models, hitting the maximum cache hit, and if you are a person that doesn't prefer subagents , skills , mcp servers , plugins ... TauCode have a cheap mode that can save your tokens. The philosophy is simple (native, not a proxy wrapper, so you don't need Cline CLI, or any extension of it to work with; its optimized for token by cache hit for every model and lazy tools calls ; + generic, you can use any skill/agent/MCP server built for Claude Code inside it; + controllable, you can toggle optional tools on demand). I would be happy to receive any feedback.

Hey everyone! GLM 5.3 is now available in ClinePass.

It is built on top of GLM 5.2, but pushed significantly more compute into post-training across diverse long-horizon tasks. The result is another strong jump in coding and agentic performance.

On Terminal-Bench, GLM 5.3 now comes in ahead of both Fable and the newly released DeepSeek V4-Pro 0813. Zai is also highlighting cybersecurity as a major area of improvement, calling it a new standard among open models.

The pace of open-weight releases right now is pretty wild. GLM 5.2 landed only a couple of months ago, DeepSeek V4-Pro 0813 dropped yesterday, and now GLM 5.3 is already pushing the benchmark forward again.

You can try GLM 5.3 through ClinePass, our subscription for ~5× discounted access to open-weight models including GLM, DeepSeek, Kimi, and more.

First month is currently $4.99, then $9.99/month.

To get started:

npm i -g cline

Curious to hear how GLM 5.3 performs on real coding tasks compared with the other open weight models you’ve been using.

DeepSeek just silently released V4 Pro 0813, and it looks like a pretty significant upgrade.

It’s up 15.8% on Terminal Bench compared to the April Preview model, while reaching Fable 5 level performance at roughly 57× lower cost.

1.6T parameters, 49B active, 1M context.

At this point, it might be the best price to performance model on the market for agentic coding.

And it’s now available in ClinePass.

ClinePass is $9.99/month and gives you ~5× discounted access to a curated set of open weight models including DeepSeek V4 Pro, Kimi, GLM, MiniMax, and more. No separate provider accounts or API keys to manage.

At this price point, usage is effectively close to unlimited for most users.

We’re also running a limited $4.99 introductory offer through the Cline CLI.

npm i -g cline

NVIDIA just released Nemotron 3.5 Lightning, and we’re making it FREE to use in Cline.

It’s a 30B MoE model with 3B active parameters, built for agents that spend a lot of time calling tools, checking results, and moving through repeated execution steps. NVIDIA says it can deliver up to 4x faster output than similar-sized models.

We’ve been seeing smaller models get a lot more capable lately, and this is another good example of that. For coding agents especially, faster and cheaper model calls can make a pretty big difference over longer tasks.

You can try Nemotron 3.5 Lightning for free in Cline now.

To use it, simply select Cline as your provider and choose `nvidia/nemotron-3.5-lightning` from the free models in the model picker.

Full details: https://cline.bot/blog/nvidia-nemotron-3-5-lightning-available-in-cline

Curious what the community thinks of the Nemotron 3.5 Lightning!

We just added /theme to Cline CLI.

You can now switch the entire CLI look without leaving the terminal, and the theme picker previews every option live as you move through them.

There are 11 built in themes right now, including Tokyo Night, Gruvbox Dark, Nord, Dracula, Catppuccin Mocha, One Dark, Solarized, plus Cline Dark and Light.

Just run:

/theme

You can also change it from the command palette or /settings.

And if you want to set it at startup, CLINE_THEME overrides your saved theme.

Which theme are you using?
