Continue is an open-source AI code assistant that runs inside VS Code and JetBrains IDEs, letting developers connect any model provider or run fully local models. The core software is free under an open-source license; you pay only for the model usage you bring, and a hosted hub adds shared configuration for teams. Because the model layer is fully pluggable, it suits teams with strict data-control requirements or strong provider preferences. Configuration flexibility is the product.
