Continue

Continue is a platform that's meant to boost programmers' productivity and automate some parts of software development by building AI code assistants directly into their workflow. By linking large language models (LLMs) with context, Continue offers open-source extensions for VS Code and JetBrains to make the work easier.

Among Continue's abilities are:

• Autocomplete: Continue fills in single lines of code or whole blocks of code as you type.
• Contextual Reference and Chat: You can attach code or other context to ask questions about functions, files or the entire codebase.
• Highlight and Instruct: You can select code blocks and then use keyboard shortcuts to reprogram code from natural language.

Continue can use a variety of LLMs, including Ollama, OpenAI, Together, Anthropic, Mistral, Azure OpenAI Service and LM Studio. And it can use a variety of contexts, including codebases, GitLab Issues, documentation, methods, Confluence pages and files.

For enterprise-scale use, Continue Enterprise adds other features:

• GitOps-based configuration: Developers can configure it easily, and it updates automatically.
• In-house LLM proxy management: You can manage API keys, rate limiting and cost accounting with an API gateway.
• Vector database management: It's automatically updated and shared across the team.

Continue's goal is to help developers work faster, stay in flow and become experts in AI by configuring their code assistants to take advantage of new abilities. By integrating with existing development tools, Continue is designed to boost productivity and to help developers build better AI software development tools.
