Introducing Cline Desktop - a native interface for working with open weights models.
Use with ClinePass and all our free models like DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash, Musespark-1.3, or BYOK with any provider!
It's incredible seeing Anthropic commit to third-party evaluators.
However, we believe open weights takes this same idea further. Anyone can inspect, evaluate, and red-team the model.
We hope to see more open collaboration in building this powerful technology.
We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.
Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our
Fun fact: avg turns per task in Cline went from 26 in March → 50 in August. Nearly 2x in 5 months.
We’re trusting agents with bigger jobs faster than ever before.
This wouldn’t be possible without cost efficiencies like with the latest DeepSeek models 💪
DeepSeek V4.1-Flash beats V4-Pro 0813 less than a month after its release.
And it's $0.30/$1.20 per 1M input/output. That's roughly:
- 1/20th cost of Opus 5
- 1/17th cost of GPT-5.6 Sol
- 1/12th cost of Kimi K3
...while beating all three on Terminal-Bench.

Meta’s Muse Spark 1.3 Contributor model is now available for free in Cline.
Benchmarks show it’s similar in performance to Opus 5, but considerably more affordable.
