Reasoning controls
Set Reasoning Effort in the OpenAI Compatible settings for Plan and Act. Cline’s native controls offer None, Low, Medium, High, and XHigh; choose only a level listed for your model below. Max and Ultra are not available in Cline’s native selector.

Change the Model ID dropdown in Settings. If the list is empty, save the key and re-enter the base URL to refresh it. Older Cline releases may require updating or pasting an ID from the included list.

Effort labels show levels available through this harness. These are the current published text models. Your key’s access rules and model availability still apply. Image-generation models use a separate API.

Verify & troubleshoot

Send a short prompt and check Activity. If models are missing, verify the list with the same API key:

bash
curl "https://api.cheapai.gay/v1/models" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
  • 401: replace the placeholder with your actual key and check that it is enabled.
  • 402: top up that key or start an hourly plan in the wallet.
  • 404: refresh the model list and check the endpoint. Use https://api.cheapai.gay/v1 as the base URL.
  • Tool errors: select a tool-capable text model and read the tool calling guide.
