description: "Available models, pricing tiers, free models, and how model IDs work in the Cline API."
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The Cline API gives you access to models from multiple providers through a single endpoint. Model IDs follow the `provider/model-name` format, the same convention used by [OpenRouter](https://openrouter.ai).
|
|
|
|
## Model ID Format
|
|
|
|
Every model is identified by a string in the format:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
provider/model-name
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
- `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6` - Claude Sonnet 4.6 from Anthropic
|
|
- `openai/gpt-4o` - GPT-4o from OpenAI
|
|
- `google/gemini-2.5-pro` - Gemini 2.5 Pro from Google
|
|
|
|
Pass this string as the `model` parameter in your [Chat Completions](/api/chat-completions) request.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -X POST https://api.cline.bot/api/v1/chat/completions \
|
|
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
|
|
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
|
-d '{
|
|
"model": "minimax/minimax-m2.5",
|
|
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
|
|
}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Reasoning Models
|
|
|
|
Some models support extended thinking, where the model reasons through a problem before responding. When using these models:
|
|
|
|
- Reasoning content appears in `delta.reasoning` during streaming
|
|
- Some providers return encrypted reasoning blocks in `delta.reasoning_details`
|
|
- Reasoning tokens are counted separately from output tokens
|
|
|
|
Models with reasoning support include most Claude, Gemini 2.5, and Grok 3 models. Check the model's `supportsReasoning` capability in the model catalog.
|
|
|
|
## Choosing a Model
|
|
|
|
| If you need... | Consider |
|
|
|----------------|----------|
|
|
| Best coding performance | `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6` |
|
|
| Long document analysis | `google/gemini-2.5-pro` (1M context) |
|
|
| Fast, cheap responses | `deepseek/deepseek-chat` |
|
|
| Free experimentation | `minimax/minimax-m2.5` |
|
|
| Multi-modal (text + images) | `openai/gpt-4o` or `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6` |
|
|
| Complex reasoning | Any model with reasoning support |
|
|
|
|
For setup and account flow details, see the [Cline Provider guide](/getting-started/cline-provider).
|
|
|
|
## Image Support
|
|
|
|
Models that support images accept base64-encoded image content in the `messages` array:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"model": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
|
"messages": [
|
|
{
|
|
"role": "user",
|
|
"content": [
|
|
{"type": "text", "text": "What's in this image?"},
|
|
{"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "data:image/png;base64,..."}}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Not all models support images. Check the model's `supportsImages` capability before sending image content.
