How to Get Free Models on Cline With 9Router

Tired of watching your API balance drain every time your coding agent runs? 9Router just added a batch of free models you can route straight into Cline, and the newest one is the interesting part.

Meta's Muse Spark 1.3 Contributor came to Cline for free, and early benchmarks put it close to Opus 5 while using a fraction of the compute. The rest of the roster is free too, so you can swap models without touching your balance.

What You Need

• The Cline extension installed in your editor.
• Your 9Router endpoint.

Tutorial

1. Open your Cline extension and paste in your 9Router endpoint. That is the address 9Router gives you for routing requests through it.
2. Set the model to one of the free IDs the roster lists. cline-free/muse-spark-1.3-contributor is the new arrival, and you can also pick poolside/laguna-s-2.1:free, cline-free/longcat-2.0, cline-free/solar-pro4, z-ai/glm-5.3-flash, or deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash.

Wrapping Up

You now have a free route into Cline, so a long agent session no longer eats into a balance. Try Muse Spark 1.3 Contributor on one small task first and see how it handles your own code, since the numbers people are quoting are early benchmark results, not your codebase.
