CLI v3.0.65 — Local model sessions, hub startup, and error handling improvements

Fixed session failures on local models by compacting conversation and retrying when output limits are hit, improved hub startup error messages and wait times, persistent error messages in session transcripts, and better plugin failure handling. Also added ai& provider, new yolo mode for tighter AI output, and updated model catalog across 209 providers.

  • Long sessions on local models no longer die mid-answer at the output-token limit. llama.cpp, Ollama, and LM Studio cap generation at whatever context is left, whatever output budget you set, so a text-only reply could be cut off and fail the run. The CLI now compacts the conversation and retries that turn once before falling back to the existing concise-retry recovery, and the partial answer is kept if nothing helps
  • When the hub fails to start, the error now says why instead of only "No compatible hub runtime is available". The CLI also waits up to 15 seconds for a freshly started hub instead of 8, since the first launch after an install or update can take 8 to 13 seconds on Windows
  • Error messages in a session are now kept when you resume it. A failure shown during a run, including one reported after retries ran out, used to disappear once you left the session; it now reappears in the transcript on resume without being sent to the model or counted by compaction
  • cline history update --title and --prompt now persist for hub-managed sessions. The new title only changed in memory and reverted on the next launch, and updating metadata could drop other keys such as pinned state
  • A plugin that fails to load no longer costs a sandbox spawn on every prompt. The CLI continues without that plugin's slash commands and retries loading it after 30 seconds, so a transient sandbox timeout recovers on its own
  • Pressing Esc during an empty-response retry now cancels right away instead of after the backoff delay
  • Yolo mode (-y) prompts the model with tighter output rules: shorter plans, no preamble before routine tool calls, and code and edits written straight into tool calls instead of drafted in text first. Expect less narration and fewer tokens spent restating the plan
  • New provider: ai&, an OpenAI-compatible endpoint serving open-weight models from Japan. Set AIAND_API_KEY; the default model is GLM 5.3
  • Refreshed the model catalog: 6,237 to 6,386 models across the same 209 providers. The default model changes for 19 providers. Eleven land on Claude Opus 5.5 (Cortecs, CrossModel, DigitalOcean, Eden AI, GitHub Copilot, both LLM Gateway providers, Ofox, Requesty, Vertex, Vivgrid), both StepFun providers move to Step 5 Preview, Above to MiMo V2.6 Flash, Fireworks to Ember-1, Kenari to DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, NanoGPT to Aion 3.5, OpenCode Go to Space Bunny Free, and Pioneer to GLiNER 2.5 Multi. If you use one of those without pinning a model, expect a different default

CLI v3.0.73

GPT-6 models now work with OpenAI and Azure OpenAI endpoints after fixing a token parameter issue. Claude Sonnet 5.5 is restored as the default model when none is selected, and the model catalog has been refreshed with new providers and updated default models across multiple services.

SDK v0.0.95

OpenAI-compatible requests for GPT-6 and later models now use max_completion_tokens instead of max_tokens to prevent rejection by OpenAI and Azure. The hub daemon now tracks client launcher information as OTel resource attributes, the model catalog expanded from 6,952 to 7,041 models with new providers, and default models were updated across multiple providers with Claude Sonnet 5.5 restored as the primary recommended option.
