New controls for Linear coding agent
By Steven Van ·
Linear's cloud coding agent adds adaptive model routing, access to environment secrets during setup, and support for open-weight models like GLM.
Linear is adding new controls for its coding agent, covering which model handles a session, what it can access during setup, and which model families are available at all.
- Adaptive routing: simpler tasks are automatically routed to a faster model, while more complex work uses the default reasoning model. If a task needs more capability than expected, the session can be restarted on the default model while keeping the original pull request for reference.
- Environment secrets: coding sessions can now access environment secrets during setup, to securely fetch private dependencies and other environment config.
- Open-weight models: coding sessions now support open-weight models, starting with GLM-powered sessions. Workspace admins and owners choose which models are available from Coding sessions settings.
