Cline v4.1.25: Cloud Sessions and Default Model Updates

What changed?

Cline v4.1.25 introduces Cline Cloud sessions, gradually rolling out to users. This feature allows running tasks in a cloud-hosted sandbox linked to a GitHub repository and branch of the user’s choice. Cloud tasks can be enabled in Cline's Settings and continue running after the editor is closed, with their status and notifications managed in the Recent and History panels. The release also updates the default and recommended model lineup, with "Gemini 4 Argon" now the recommended default for the Cline provider when no specific model is selected. The catalog is refreshed with new providers and models, and default models change for various providers including Cortecs, CrossModel, Eden AI, Google Gemini, and others.

Why does it matter to an everyday developer?

Cloud sessions reduce local setup overhead and allow developers to offload tasks to a sandboxed cloud environment directly tied to a specific GitHub repo and branch. This enhances CI/CD workflows, testing, or experimentation. Cloud-hosted tasks keep running even after the editor is closed, supporting long-running or asynchronous work. The revised default and recommended models may impact workflows that depend on specific LLM behaviors or outputs. Developers using default provider models without explicit selection should be aware of potential differences in results.

What can the developer do now?

• Enable Cline Cloud sessions in Settings to try running tasks in a hosted sandbox linked to your chosen GitHub repository and branch.
• Monitor cloud task progress and status via the Recent and History panels within Cline, and receive notifications when tasks complete.
