Overview

Continue is the leading open-source AI code assistant. Unlike proprietary solutions, Continue lets you bring your own models - connect to OpenAI, Anthropic, local Ollama models, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Full data privacy by design.

Key Features

• Bring Your Own Model: Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, local Ollama, and more
• Self-Hostable: Run entirely on your own infrastructure
• Offline Mode: Works with local LLMs without internet
• Open Source: Apache 2.0, fully auditable codebase
• IDE Support: VS Code and JetBrains plugins

Privacy First

All data stays on your machine when using local models. No telemetry, no data sharing. Ideal for enterprise environments with strict data compliance requirements.
