Cline is an open-source AI coding-agent company founded by Saoud Rizwan, who built the first version — then called Claude Dev — as a side project for Anthropic's July 2024 "Build with Claude" hackathon. The project grew rapidly into a venture-backed company, raising $32 million led by Emergence Capital, and reached over 8 million installs by positioning itself around developer transparency: bring-your-own-API-key pricing, fully open-sourced prompts, and support for any AI model.

Intel
Cline 4.1.16 stops flat-rate providers (ClinePass, Codex, Claude Code) showing phantom API-rate costs, scopes .clinerules hooks to the VS Code window rather than global state, redacts credentials in git remote URLs before workspace info reaches the model, and hides per-tool MCP auto-approve.
