From prompt to production: Baseten inference in your IDE with Cline

This post details the integration of Baseten's model serving infrastructure with Cline, an open-source AI coding assistant. It enables developers to use Baseten-hosted models (DeepSeek R1, Kimi K3, Qwen3 Coder) directly within their IDE for code generation and analysis. The post outlines the configuration steps for Cline to use Baseten as an API provider, including API key generation and model selection. It also provides a practical example of generating a playable Flappy Bird game using Cline's 'Act' mode with a Baseten-powered model, demonstrating the practical application of this integration for accelerating development workflows.
