continue.dev

About

continue.dev is an open-source AI coding assistant that runs directly in your IDE (VS Code, JetBrains, etc). You can use AI/ML API models with Continue via the built-in OpenAI-compatible provider — no plugins required.

Configuration

You can configure Continue by editing either ~/.continue/config.json or ~/.continue/config.yaml.

Option 1: `config.json`

{
  "models": [
    {
      "name": "AI/ML API",
      "provider": "openai",
      "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
      "apiBase": "<https://api.aimlapi.com/v1>",
      "apiKey": "<YOUR_AIMLAPI_KEY>"
    }
  ]
}

Option 2: `config.yaml`

models:
  - name: AI/ML API
    provider: openai
    model: gpt-3.5-turbo
    apiBase: <https://api.aimlapi.com/v1>
    apiKey: <YOUR_AIMLAPI_KEY>

✅ provider: openai — uses Continue’s native OpenAI-compatible interface ✅ apiBase — must be <https://api.aimlapi.com/v1> for AI/ML API ✅ model — any valid model from our text model list.

Advanced Options (Optional)

To disable compression or configure extra body parameters, use requestOptions.extraBodyProperties.
