GPT-5 is live in Cline. We've been working with OpenAI to get this model ready, and here's our take: it's disciplined, persistent, & highly competent. It's collaborative in planning & and a diligent operator while acting. It plans thoroughly, asks optioned follow-ups when needed, & then gets out of the way and ships code. On long tasks it keeps going before pausing to check in. It follows instructions to the letter. And most importantly -- it writes good code. GPT-5 is like "The Wolf" from Pulp Fiction. Comes in, assesses the situation, then executes. Here's what you can expect from GPT-5 in Cline: > verbose while planning; terse while executing > asks a lot of good clarification questions, & frequently provides options when appropriate > strong context retention and persistence over long horizons (256k context window) > good at diff-style edits and multi-file changes (we'll monitor as more usage data comes in) > quiet in Act mode -- writes code without yapping Metaprompting is another strength. We tested early with OpenAI and used GPT-5 to tune our own prompt for GPT-5. Here's a pattern we like: “Answer from your own perspective: what changes or additions would help you better follow this prompt? Here is the prompt (or snippet): [snippet]. Users have complained about X and Y. What minimal edits would you make while keeping the rest intact?” Do you need to change any of your existing patterns in Cline? No -- it's good out of the box. Give a clear goal and constraints, let it plan, then let it cook. Expect more clarifying questions than most models. Pricing: $1.25/M input tokens (+90% cache), $10/M output. Roughly half of Sonnet 4 ($3/$15). Want to try GPT-5? Use it in Cline today for pure, unfiltered inference via the OpenAI, Cline, or OpenRouter providers.
