  1. 1
    Install VS Code

    Download VS Code for your computer using the button below. Open the installer, follow its prompts, then open VS Code. Cline is an extension that runs inside VS Code.

    Base URL: https://api.outrun.to/v1. API Key: paste your own Outrun key into that field. Model ID: claude-sonnet-5 for a first test, or copy another available model ID from Models & Pricing. Do not add /chat/completions to the Base URL.

  5. 5
    Save and test

If something goes wrong

Key missing or rejected (401)

Copy your current key from API keys. Paste it only into the app’s key field or your local key variable, then save and reopen the app.

Not enough available credit (402)

Check Balance and the key’s spending cap. Another request may have temporarily reserved credit; read the message before adding funds.

Wrong URL, model or limit (400/404)

Copy the exact values above. Do not add an operation such as /chat/completions to a Base URL. For GLM, context is 1000000 and maximum output is 65536.

Busy or rate limited (429)

Wait for the active request to finish or the rate limit to reset. Avoid repeatedly submitting the same request.

Interrupted request or uncertain charge

Check Activity first. Keep the request ID for support; never include your key in a message or screenshot.

Model choices and service notes

Cline connects with its OpenAI Compatible provider. Choose an available text model from Models & Pricing, including the Uncensored models (glm-5.3-uncensored, glm-5.3-flash-uncensored, glm-5.3-flash-abliterated, glm-5.3-abliterated, deepseek-v4-pro-uncensored); claude-sonnet-5 and gpt-5.6-sol are good defaults. If a request returns 402, check your account balance and key spending cap. For 429, read the error: wait for the active request to finish or the rate limit to reset. If a paid request is interrupted or its outcome is uncertain, check Activity before trying again; do not automatically repeat it. Choose an available model from Models & Pricing; paused models cannot be used.
