// about Continue
Continue is an open-source AI coding extension for VS Code and JetBrains that lets developers connect any LLM — Claude, GPT-4o, Llama, local models — to their IDE for code completion, inline edits, and chat. Its fully customisable architecture means teams can use self-hosted models for security-sensitive codebases without sending code to a cloud provider. Engineering teams choose Continue for the flexibility to swap models and keep data on-premises.
