Cline

Cline is a VS Code extension for autonomous coding. Point it at Radium for AI-powered coding assistance.

​
Prerequisites

  • Cline extension installed in VS Code
  • A Radium API key from the dashboard

​
Setup

​
OpenAI-compatible provider

Cline supports custom OpenAI-compatible providers. Add Radium in your Cline settings:
  1. Open VS Code → Settings → Extensions → Cline
  2. Under API Provider, select OpenAI Compatible
  3. Set:
    • Base URL: https://api.radium.cloud/v1
    • API Key: your Radium API key
    • Model ID: hal-1.0
  4. Save and restart the Cline panel

​
Alternative: .clinerules file

Create a .clinerules file in your project root:
Do not commit .clinerules with your API key. Use an env var reference or the VS Code settings UI instead.

​
System prompt

Cline sends its own system prompt for autonomous operation. You can prepend Radium-specific instructions:

​
Rate limits

Cline can make many requests in rapid succession during an agent loop. If you hit rate limits:
  1. Reduce the max requests per task in Cline settings
  2. Switch to tycho-1.0 for faster throughput
  3. Consider upgrading your Radium tier for higher RPM
Current limits: see Rate limits.

​
Streaming

Cline supports streaming responses. Ensure streaming is enabled in Cline settings for the lowest perceived latency.
