Continue is an open-source AI programming assistant plugin that supports VS Code and JetBrains, and can flexibly integrate with any OpenAI-compatible large language model.

Prerequisites​

  • You have activated a TCB environment and obtained the environment ID cloudBaseEnvID.

  • Enable the required model in the AI console.

  • Obtain the Base URL and API Key in the AI console.

Configuration Steps​

  1. Open the configuration file config.yaml.

You can open it in the following two ways:

Open in IDE (Recommended): At the top of the Continue chat sidebar, click the model/Agent dropdown list, locate Local Config, and then click the gear icon to its right to open config.yaml directly in the editor.

Find in the local file system:

note

If you use your file browser to locate files, note that the file browser hides files with names starting with a period (.) by default. You may need to enable the hidden files option in your file browser to view them.

On macOS, use the Finder shortcut Command + Shift + . to show hidden files. On Windows, you can show hidden items by selecting "File Explorer - View - Show - Hidden items".
