Continue is an open-source (Apache 2.0) AI coding extension for VS Code and JetBrains. Configuration is handled via a config.yaml file that maps model providers to specific tasks: one model for chat, a separate model for autocomplete, another for embeddings. Continue supports 30+ providers including Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Azure, Bedrock, Mistral, Ollama, vLLM, Groq, and OpenRouter.
Continue Hub is a registry of shareable AI assistant configurations — agents, rules, prompts, MCP servers, and documentation sources — that teams use to standardize extension behavior across engineers. Team plan adds private Hub entries and SSO; Company tier adds BYOK at the workspace level and SLA.
The open-source extension has 32,000+ GitHub stars. Individual use with BYO API keys is free. Continue also sells inference credits at $3/million tokens for teams that prefer not to manage provider billing directly.
