Samsung Electronics is testing a new open-source AI coding assistant called Cline, which is expected to be adopted by its Device eXperience (DX) division as early as next month, according to Yonhap News Agency.

Cline leverages Claude 3.7 Sonnet's advanced agentic coding capabilities to autonomously handle complex software development tasks. The goal is to significantly boost developer productivity across Samsung's mobile and home appliance units, which are both part of the DX division.

The move aligns with Samsung's broader AI for All strategy. Last month, the company created a dedicated AI productivity innovation group within the DX division.

This follows the establishment of an AI centre within its chip business in December 2024, further underscoring the tech giant's commitment to embedding AI across its operations.
