Continue

Continue is the leading open-source AI code assistant, offering code completion and chat capabilities that plug into VS Code and JetBrains IDEs. Unlike proprietary alternatives, Continue works with any model — cloud-hosted (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) or local (Ollama, LM Studio). Features an extensible backend architecture that allows custom model configurations, context providers, and slash commands. With 30K+ GitHub stars, it's the top choice for developers who want AI assistance without vendor lock-in.
