## 🔮 Stay Ahead of the Curve
**Model Pulse** is a lightweight VS Code extension that keeps you on the cutting edge of generative AI. It automatically fetches the latest free-to-use models from OpenRouter and displays them in a clean, native tree view in your sidebar. Never miss a new model release again.
## ✨ Key Features
- **Real-Time Updates**: Automatically discovers and lists the newest free models from OpenRouter.
- **Effortless Configuration**: Instantly copy the provider, base URL, and model ID to configure tools like Cline.
- **Native VS Code UI**: A clean, fast, and responsive tree view that feels right at home in your editor.
- **Hourly Sync**: Keeps the model list fresh with automatic checks every hour.
## 🚀 Quick Start

2. **Open** the Model Pulse icon in your activity bar.
3. **Expand** a model to view its details.
4. **Click** on `Provider`, `Base URL`, or `Model ID` to copy the value.

## ⚙️ How to Use with Cline
Model Pulse makes it trivial to use the latest free models with powerful AI assistants like [Cline](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=saoudrizwan.claude-dev).
1. **Open Cline's Settings** in VS Code (`File` > `Preferences` > `Settings`, then search for `cline`).
2. **Copy & Paste the Provider**:

- In Cline's settings, set both `Plan Mode API Provider` and `Act Mode API Provider` to `openrouter`.
3. **Copy & Paste the Model ID**:
