Continue
Continue brings the core of an AI coding assistant into your editor and lets you point each feature at a different model, so you can use a small fast model for autocomplete and a larger one for chat and edits. It integrates cleanly with Ollama and llama.cpp, which keeps your code and prompts on your machine.
Strengths
- First-class local model support through Ollama and llama.cpp
- Autocomplete, chat, and edits in one extension, each model-configurable
- Open source under Apache 2.0
Weaknesses
- Configuration can be fiddly, especially matching models to features
- Local autocomplete quality depends heavily on your model and hardware
- More setup than a hosted assistant that just works out of the box
