The open-source AI code assistant

About Continue

Continue is the open-source alternative to GitHub Copilot. It lets you connect any model (like Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4, or a local Llama 3 via Ollama) to VS Code.

It is loved by developers who want control over exactly which model reads their code and where their data goes.
