Cline v3.85.0 Adds DeepSeek V4, Gemini 3.5 Flash, and GPT-5.5 Support

Cline released version 3.85.0 on May 25, 2025, expanding its AI coding assistant with support for several new models and provider integrations.

New Model Support

The update adds DeepSeek V4 Flash and Pro models, bringing the latest DeepSeek releases to the VS Code extension. Cline now supports Gemini 3.5 Flash through both Google's Gemini API and Vertex AI providers. The release also adds GPT-5.5 support specifically for SAP AI Core integration.

Poolside's Laguna models now route through next-generation prompts and native tool calling, according to the changelog.

Provider and Infrastructure Updates

The release fixes Vertex AI global endpoint handling for Claude models, addressing routing issues for users of Anthropic's models through Google Cloud. Cline added a new /lg-task URI webhook integration for LG dashboard flows, though specific details of this integration were not disclosed.

Technical Changes

Version 3.85.0 updates two dependencies: diff and protobufjs. The release moves from cli-v3.0.13 to v3.85.0, representing a significant version jump in the numbering scheme.

About Cline

Cline is an autonomous coding agent that runs as a VS Code extension, allowing developers to interact with AI models for code generation, debugging, and terminal command execution. The tool supports multiple AI providers and model options through a unified interface.

What This Means

This update reflects the rapid pace of new model releases across the AI industry, with Cline maintaining compatibility within days of major model launches like DeepSeek V4. The addition of Gemini 3.5 Flash across multiple providers gives developers more routing options for cost optimization. The Vertex AI fix addresses a practical issue for enterprise users running Claude models through Google Cloud infrastructure rather than directly through Anthropic's API.
