Pin Cline provider models before SDK v0.0.82 switches 57 defaults to Claude Fable 5.1

Cline SDK v0.0.82 loads models from the live catalog and changes the unresolved default for 57 providers. Anthropic and gateways that followed it now resolve to Claude Fable 5.1 instead of Claude Opus 5. Pin every provider you use so the switch is explicit.

Why this loop

This release is an unusually wide catalog refresh: ten providers are added, lists and pricing are updated, and the resolved default model changes for 57 providers. Most consequentially, Anthropic now resolves to Claude Fable 5.1 instead of Claude Opus 5, and Amazon Bedrock, Vertex, OpenRouter, Vercel AI Gateway, Kilo Gateway, LLM Gateway, DevPass, DigitalOcean, CrossModel, Eden AI, and NanoGPT follow it to Fable 5.1. Cline provider models also load from the live catalog rather than only the bundled one, so newly published models appear without a package update. Explicit runtime and models.json overrides still take precedence. If any of those providers is left unpinned, the next catalog resolution will silently change which model runs and at what price. Pin the model you actually want (Opus 5 to keep prior behavior, or Fable 5.1 to adopt the new default) before upgrading. Treat settings entries that have only a default model and no credentials as unconfigured; the catalog now exposes a computed configured flag so those no longer read as connected.

Proposed actions

  1. In Cline models.json and any runtime model overrides, pin Anthropic, Amazon Bedrock, Vertex, OpenRouter, Vercel AI Gateway, Kilo Gateway, LLM Gateway, DevPass, DigitalOcean, CrossModel, Eden AI, and NanoGPT to an explicit model id; do not leave them on the unresolved catalog default.
  2. If you want prior behavior, set those providers to Claude Opus 5; if you want the new catalog default, set them to Claude Fable 5.1 so the choice survives the next live-catalog refresh.
  3. Upgrade to Cline SDK v0.0.82, reload provider models from the live catalog (not only the bundled one), and confirm explicit runtime and models.json overrides still take precedence over newly published defaults.
  4. In provider settings, require credentials before treating a provider as connected: SDK v0.0.82's catalog configured flag is false when an entry has only a default model and no credentials.
  5. After pinning, compare the refreshed catalog pricing for your pinned model against the previous Opus 5 default on Anthropic, Bedrock, Vertex, and OpenRouter so cost expectations match the model you actually run.

Why it matters

This release is an unusually wide catalog refresh: ten providers are added, lists and pricing are updated, and the resolved default model changes for 57 providers. Most consequentially, Anthropic now resolves to Claude Fable 5.1 instead of Claude Opus 5, and Amazon Bedrock, Vertex, OpenRouter, Vercel AI Gateway, Kilo Gateway, LLM Gateway, DevPass, DigitalOcean, CrossModel, Eden AI, and NanoGPT follow it to Fable 5.1. Cline provider models also load from the live catalog rather than only the bundled one, so newly published models appear without a package update. Explicit runtime and models.json overrides still take precedence. If any of those providers is left unpinned, the next catalog resolution will silently change which model runs and at what price. Pin the model you actually want (Opus 5 to keep prior behavior, or Fable 5.1 to adopt the new default) before upgrading. Treat settings entries that have only a default model and no credentials as unconfigured; the catalog now exposes a computed configured flag so those no longer read as connected.

Suggested actions

  1. In Cline models.json and any runtime model overrides, pin Anthropic, Amazon Bedrock, Vertex, OpenRouter, Vercel AI Gateway, Kilo Gateway, LLM Gateway, DevPass, DigitalOcean, CrossModel, Eden AI, and NanoGPT to an explicit model id; do not leave them on the unresolved catalog default.
  2. If you want prior behavior, set those providers to Claude Opus 5; if you want the new catalog default, set them to Claude Fable 5.1 so the choice survives the next live-catalog refresh.
  3. Upgrade to Cline SDK v0.0.82, reload provider models from the live catalog (not only the bundled one), and confirm explicit runtime and models.json overrides still take precedence over newly published defaults.
  4. In provider settings, require credentials before treating a provider as connected: SDK v0.0.82's catalog configured flag is false when an entry has only a default model and no credentials.
  5. After pinning, compare the refreshed catalog pricing for your pinned model against the previous Opus 5 default on Anthropic, Bedrock, Vertex, and OpenRouter so cost expectations match the model you actually run.

Your job

  1. Restate the change in one sentence.
  2. Propose a minimal plan for my repo (or a throwaway pilot).
  3. Implement only what I approve; prefer small diffs and tests.
  4. Call out risks (permissions, breaking APIs, cost).

Verified excerpt — the source's own words
  • Fixed tool calling being silently disabled for gateway models whose catalog entry declares no capabilities. Three separate producers built gateway model definitions with their own hand-written capability translations and had drifted; the builtin-provider path emitted ["text"] where the others emitted undefined, and that list read as an authoritative denial that stripped every tool definition from requests to Dify, SAP AI Core, opencode, and the Codex CLI. One shared translator now serves every producer
  • Fixed an empty capability list stripping image input. Two readers bypassed modelHasCapability and tested capabilities directly, where an empty list is not nullish but matches nothing: the file-read tool silently dropped every image from the request, and model pickers reported models as definitively lacking vision, attachments, and reasoning when nothing had been declared
  • Langfuse tracing now works in minified release builds. initializeLangfuseTelemetry identified the OpenTelemetry provider by constructor name, which minification renames, so every production build silently initialized with readiness=false while unminified dev runs worked. Detection is now
