Blog post from Cline
Cline 3.55 introduces two noteworthy open models: Arcee Trinity Large and Kimi K2.5, each offering unique advantages for developers seeking open-weight options without relying on proprietary APIs. Arcee Trinity Large, a 400-billion parameter mixture-of-experts model, is US-built, free, and released under the Apache 2.0 license, serving enterprises with compliance requirements and offering capabilities comparable to larger models at reduced compute costs. Kimi K2.5, a 1-trillion parameter model with full multimodal support, excels in visual coding and frontend work, achieving competitive benchmark scores against proprietary models like GPT-5.2 and Opus 4.5. It supports complex task orchestration with agent swarm capabilities, making it ideal for intricate development projects. Both models are now available in Cline's marketplace, providing developers with viable alternatives to closed models, emphasizing factors such as licensing, compliance, cost, and workflow alignment.
