Continue is an open-source AI coding assistant that works inside VS Code and JetBrains. Unlike Copilot, you choose which LLM powers it — local models via Ollama, cloud models via API keys, or enterprise models. It supports tab autocomplete, chat, and inline editing.
Continue is the most popular open-source AI code assistant with over 18,000 GitHub stars. It provides IDE-native AI features: code completion, chat-based code generation, inline editing, and custom slash commands. You can connect any LLM backend. Supports VS Code and JetBrains IDEs.
