Enter Yolo-Auto in Cline settings
Choose OpenAI Compatible as the provider, then enter the values below. The model ID must exactly match a public Yolo-Auto model.
Fix common Cline connection mistakes
Use the /v1 base URL, include the complete yolo_ API key, and copy the model ID exactly. Disable image support for the current text-only route.
Use flat-rate access for longer coding sessions
Start with free requests while testing. Paid plans remove per-token billing when Cline sessions, retries, and repository context become difficult to forecast.
Who Cline OpenAI-Compatible API Setup is actually for
Cline OpenAI-Compatible API Setup is best for developers and power users who want model access inside tools, agents, scripts, and apps, not just a closed consumer chatbot tab.
- Cline users configuring a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
- Developers troubleshooting base URL, model ID, or context settings.
- Long coding sessions where predictable LLM pricing matters.
Keep the coding agent, change the model backend
The integration uses each tool's existing custom-provider support. Yolo-Auto supplies an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, API key, and public Qwen model without replacing the coding-agent interface.
Start with the free tier to verify the configuration. The same endpoint and model shape continue working when a flat-rate paid plan becomes a better fit for longer sessions.
Enter these OpenAI-compatible values in Cline
Choose OpenAI Compatible, copy each value exactly, and replace the API-key placeholder with your Yolo-Auto key.
API Provider: OpenAI Compatible Base URL: https://yolo-auto.com/v1 API Key: YOUR_yolo_API_KEY_HERE Model ID: qwen3.8-27b Context window: 131072 Supports images: false
If the connection fails, verify the /v1 suffix, API key, and current model ID first.
When to choose Yolo-Auto
You need OpenAI-compatible LLM access, predictable cost, free testing, and no prompt or response storage.
You need image generation, every model under the sun, a managed IDE, or a consumer-only chatbot with no API workflow.
Read the docs, check models, compare pricing, or review the privacy policy.
