Continue.dev is an open-source AI code assistant for VS Code and JetBrains. It reads its models from a YAML config, so Opper slots in as an OpenAI-compatible provider.

​
Setup

Add Opper to ~/.continue/config.yaml:
Add one entry per model you want available. provider: openai selects Continue’s OpenAI-compatible client; apiBase redirects it to Opper.
config.yaml holds the key in plaintext. It lives in your home directory rather than a repo, but treat it like any other credential file — don’t copy it into a project or commit it.

​
Roles

Continue assigns models to roles — chat, edit, apply, autocomplete, embed, rerank. List the roles each entry should serve. A fast, cheap model is usually the right choice for autocomplete, and a frontier model for chat and edit.

​
Troubleshooting

Continue reloads config.yaml on save. If it’s still missing, check the indentation — models is a top-level list.
apiKey must hold your Opper key, and apiBase has to be set. Without apiBase, Continue sends the key to OpenAI.
