Open source is the opposite of what every big AI lab is offering.
I was using the Cline CLI for the first time, and they offer the freedom you won't get with any of the proprietary agentic coding tools:
• It's open-source
• You aren't locked into a single model
• Bring your own API Key to use any model
• Over 5 million developers already use it
• Fastest-growing AI open-source project on GitHub
Even better:
Right now, you can use two of the best open source models for free: MiniMax M2.5 and Kimi K2.5.
To install it: npm install -g cline
