2. Open Cline panel → Settings ⚙️
3. Provider: OpenAI Compatible
4. Base URL: https://routify.bytedance.city/v1
5. API key: rtf_xxx
6. Model: claude-sonnet-4-6 (recommended) or deepseek-v3.2 for budget

Recommended config (.vscode/settings.json)

{
  "cline.apiProvider": "openai",
  "cline.openAiBaseUrl": "https://routify.bytedance.city/v1",
  "cline.modelId": "claude-sonnet-4-6"
}

Tips

• Cline's "Plan" mode benefits from claude-sonnet-4-6 or deepseek-r1
• "Act" mode runs fine with cheaper models like deepseek-v3.2
• For very long codebases, switch to qwen3-max (256k context)
