Tencent Cloud announced the launch of CloudBase AI CLI on August 15th, an AI command line tool deeply integrated with the cloud development platform, designed to provide professional developers with a more efficient and convenient development experience. The CloudBase AI CLI is an upgraded version of the CloudBase AI ToolKit released in May this year, and this upgrade has made its functions more powerful, significantly improving development efficiency.

The core advantage of CloudBase AI CLI is its unified command line interface. Developers can call multiple AI programming tools such as Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, aider, and Qwen Code by simply using the "tcb ai" command. These tools can generate code based on developers' natural language descriptions, optimize code structure, and support one-click deployment to the Tencent Cloud development platform. Through this method, CloudBase AI CLI can reduce 80% of the coding workload, greatly improving development efficiency.

Another significant feature of this tool is its cross-platform compatibility and multi-model collaboration capabilities. Whether developers are working on local computers, cloud servers, or in environments like WeChat Mini Program Development Tools, VS Code, GitHub Actions, or CodeBuddy, CloudBase AI CLI can run seamlessly. It includes mainstream AI models such as DeepSeek and Kimi K2, and supports users to customize models and API keys, thus meeting the needs of different development scenarios.

CloudBase AI CLI not only excels in code generation but also covers the entire process from code generation to application deployment and configuration of backend services. It can directly call Tencent Cloud's serverless services such as cloud functions, cloud databases, and cloud storage, achieving automatic scaling, allowing developers to focus on development without worrying about operations. In addition, CloudBase supports service development and hosting in multiple languages such as Node.js, Java, and Go, enabling developers to choose their technology stack flexibly according to project requirements, further improving development efficiency and project flexibility.

To lower the usage barrier, Tencent Cloud offers new users a free trial quota of 1 million tokens, as well as free quotas for basic services such as cloud function calls and database storage. This means developers can experience the powerful features of AI programming without incurring additional costs and can flexibly choose different models and calling methods based on project needs, maximizing the cost-effectiveness of AI.

Many internal testers have already experienced CloudBase AI CLI and have given high praise for its performance. For example, when developing a bicycle race management platform, developers completed the design to deployment in one go through the CLI, greatly improving development efficiency; developers of campus service mini programs said that cloud function deployment and database query features were very practical, saving a lot of learning time; game developers found that pre-designed templates were accurate, allowing them to quickly generate MVP prototypes; logistics platform developers shortened the project cycle significantly through conversational development.

The launch of CloudBase AI CLI marks another important innovation by Tencent Cloud in the field of AI development tools. It not only provides developers with an efficient and convenient development environment, but also promotes the automation and intelligence of the development process by integrating AI technology with the cloud development platform.

Developers can install CloudBase AI CLI through the following methods:

On Mac/Linux/Windows WSL systems, use the command `curl https://static.cloudbase.net/cli/install/install.sh -fsS | bash`;

On Windows PowerShell, use the command `irm https://static.cloudbase.net/cli/install/install.ps1 | iex`.

Detailed usage guides can be found in the official documentation of Tencent Cloud's CloudBase.
