Continue (continue.dev) Review

Continue is an open-source AI coding agent that runs inside VS Code and JetBrains IDEs. It provides inline code completion, an editable diff workflow where proposed changes can be accepted or rejected, and a chat sidebar that can reference open files, the terminal, and documentation. Teams can configure it to work with any LLM provider or local models, and share configuration through its hub. The core extension is free and open source, and it supports both cloud models via API keys and fully local setups for privacy-sensitive codebases.
