Continue

Configure the Continue extension for VS Code and JetBrains.

Continue is configured by a single JSON or YAML file and supports custom providers directly.

config.json

{
  "models": [
    {
      "title": "Claude Sonnet 4.6",
      "provider": "anthropic",
      "model": "claude-sonnet-4-6",
      "apiKey": "sk-your-key",
      "apiBase": "https://aiprimetech.io"
    },
    {
      "title": "Claude Opus 4.8",
      "provider": "anthropic",
      "model": "claude-opus-4-8",
      "apiKey": "sk-your-key",
      "apiBase": "https://aiprimetech.io"
    }
  ]
}

The file lives at ~/.continue/config.json. With provider: anthropic, apiBase takes no /v1; if you use provider: openai instead, append /v1.

A cheaper autocomplete model

{
  "tabAutocompleteModel": {
    "title": "Haiku",
    "provider": "anthropic",
    "model": "claude-haiku-4-5",
    "apiKey": "sk-your-key",
    "apiBase": "https://aiprimetech.io"
  }
}
Autocomplete fires constantly. Pointing it at a frontier model is the fastest way to burn credits for no benefit — Haiku is the right tool for that job.
