Cline, a VS Code extension used by 11 million developers, now has a standalone desktop app that lets you run multiple AI agents in parallel, choose from 300+ models, and automate recurring tasks. You can also import conversations from Claude Code or other agents and continue them with cheaper open-weight models.

• Run parallel agents simultaneously with scheduled cron job automations for recurring work like nightly repo checks or weekly documentation updates.
• Switch between 300+ models across 50+ providers, or use local models—you can even mix different models for planning versus execution.
• Import tasks and conversations from Claude Code, Codex, or other agents to continue work without starting over, useful when hitting subscription limits.
• The app extends beyond coding to research, document review, reporting, and other non-code work through plugins, MCP servers, and skills.

Tencent released Hy4 preview, a large language model with 770B parameters and over 1M token context window, designed for coding, office work, and scientific research. The model outperformed competitors like GLM-5.3 and Kimi K3 in Tencent's internal evaluation and can be accessed free for two weeks through WorkBuddy and CodeBuddy.

• Hy4 preview scored 2.99/4.00 in Tencent's blind evaluation of 203 engineering tasks, beating GLM-5.3 (2.92) and Kimi K3 (2.94)
• The model participated in its own development, autonomously optimizing training methods and inference infrastructure, increasing throughput by 31.8% over baseline
• Pricing is competitive at $0.834 per million input tokens and $2.501 per million output tokens, with specialized optimization for game development and scientific research tasks
