Open-source AI code assistant for any IDE and any model

Open SourceFree TierAdded May 1, 2023

About

Continue is an open-source AI coding assistant that works as a VS Code or JetBrains extension, connecting to any LLM — cloud or local. It provides inline code completion, chat with codebase context, and multi-file editing. Unlike proprietary assistants, Continue lets you choose your model (GPT-4, Claude, Llama via Ollama, etc.) and keeps full control over where your code is sent. It supports context providers for docs, terminals, and databases.
