Cline Ships a Desktop App for Open-Weight Models and Sells Ten of Them From Six Labs for $9.99 Flat
Cline's desktop app placed #5 on Product Hunt September 11 with 253 votes, positioned plainly as "an open-source app for open-weight models" that runs multiple agent sessions and picks up work from Claude Code and Codex; desktop v0.0.25 shipped around September 10 and the Apache-2.0 repo sits at 67,875 stars. The attached ClinePass plan is $9.99/month flat for GLM-5.2, Kimi K2.7 Code, Kimi K2.6, DeepSeek V4 Pro and Flash, MiMo V2.5 and V2.5 Pro, MiniMax M3, Qwen3.7 Max and Plus, at two to five times Cline's standard API rate limits. That is a flat monthly price undercutting metered frontier coding agents on the explicit bet that open weights are now good enough, and it prices the whole harness below a single frontier seat.
