Continue is an open-source VS Code and JetBrains extension that brings AI code assistance to any LLM — Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, or your own local model — without vendor lock-in. It supports code completion, multi-file editing, codebase Q&A, and custom slash commands. Developers who want AI assistance in their editor but want full control over which model processes their code — keeping proprietary code off third-party servers — use Continue as their preferred self-hostable option.
