Does Cline work with Standard Compute?

Yes. Cline supports a custom OpenAI-compatible base URL, so it works with Standard Compute. Set the base URL to https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1, paste your API key, and set the model to "standardcompute".

What base URL do I use for Cline?

Use https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1 as the OpenAI-compatible base URL in Cline, with your Standard Compute API key and the model "standardcompute".

Do I need to change my code or model names?

No code changes. The model "standardcompute" routes each request to a frontier or an efficient model, so you don't pick or update model names; an exact model ID from the Models page pins one model instead.

Use Standard Compute with Cline

The open-source autonomous coding agent for VS Code, with Plan/Act, MCP, and terminal control. Standard Compute is built into Cline’s provider list from Cline 4.1.25 (October 16, 2026): pick it under API Provider, enter the base URL and your key, and keep the model standardcompute. On 4.1.24 and earlier, choose OpenAI Compatible and paste the same three settings.

Cline 4.1.25 for VS Code and JetBrains, Cline CLI 3.0.72 and Cline Desktop 0.0.47, all released October 16, 2026, add Standard Compute to Cline’s model catalog as provider standardcompute.

Where to set them in Cline

Cline 4.1.25 and later: open Cline’s settings (the gear icon), type Standard Compute in the API Provider search and pick it.
Set Base URL to the value above, paste your API key under OpenAI Compatible API Key, and keep standardcompute as the Model ID (or pin a model such as anthropic/claude-sonnet-5.5).
4.1.24 and earlier: set API Provider to “OpenAI Compatible” instead and enter the same Base URL, key and Model ID.
Cline CLI 3.0.72 and later: run cline auth -p standardcompute -k "$STANDARDCOMPUTE_API_KEY" -m standardcompute, or run cline auth, choose Bring your own provider and pick Standard Compute. Cline Desktop 0.0.47 and later: Settings → Providers, search for Standard Compute and paste your key.

What changes in Cline

Billing: Cline requests draw on one monthly compute budget, with plans from $19 a month. When the budget is used, requests stop until renewal or an upgrade, unless you turn on pay as you go.
Models: The model standardcompute picks a frontier or an efficient model for each request. An exact model ID from the Models page pins one model instead.
Good to know: Cline’s cost display shows $0 for Standard Compute models because the catalog lists no per-token prices; the dashboard’s Usage page shows the budget used. Under Model Configuration, check Context Window Size: 400000 suits the router.
