Cline v4.0.5 Adds Claude Sonnet 3.5 Support Across 7 API Providers
Cline, the open-source VSCode AI coding assistant, released v4.0.5 on June 30, 2024, adding support for Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 3.5 across multiple API providers.
What Changed
The update adds Claude Sonnet 3.5 integration to seven providers:
- Anthropic direct API
- AWS Bedrock
- Google Cloud Vertex AI
- Claude Code
- SAP AI Core
- OpenRouter
- Vercel AI Gateway
The release also includes model picker updates and corrections to Claude Sonnet 3.5 pricing information within the extension.
Technical Details
Cline is a VSCode extension that provides AI-powered coding assistance through multiple LLM providers. The extension allows developers to switch between different API providers while using the same underlying models.
The pricing fix mentioned in the release title (pull request #12009) suggests the extension previously displayed incorrect per-token costs for Claude Sonnet 3.5. The specific pricing values were not disclosed in the release notes.
What This Means
This update expands Claude Sonnet 3.5 availability for developers using Cline, particularly those who access Anthropic's models through enterprise cloud platforms like AWS Bedrock or Google Cloud Vertex AI rather than Anthropic's direct API. The multi-provider support gives teams flexibility in how they route and pay for API access based on existing cloud infrastructure and cost optimization strategies.
The pricing correction indicates Cline maintains its own pricing database for cost estimates, which may differ from real-time provider rates. Developers should verify actual costs with their chosen provider.
