Description
Continue is an open-source extension for VS Code that functions as a development autopilot, allowing developers to use their own AI models to assist with coding. Unlike commercial services, Continue lets you use any LLM: OpenAI, Anthropic, local Ollama models, or custom models. It offers inline chat, autocomplete, guided refactoring, and code generation. It can explain selected code, generate tests, fix bugs, and improve existing code. Extensible through prompt configuration and specific model selection for different tasks. Completely private when using local models. Perfect for developers who value control, privacy, and customization. Active community with constant contributions. Free and open source with no vendor lock-in. An ethical alternative to proprietary services. Supports full repository context for better suggestions. Over 100k downloads on the VS Code marketplace.
