# Continue

[Continue](https://continue.dev/) is an open-source AI code assistant for VS Code and JetBrains IDEs. It connects to TensorX through OpenAI-compatible configuration.

## Prerequisites

* Continue extension installed in your IDE
* TensorX API key from [app.tensorx.ai](https://app.tensorx.ai)

## Configuration

### VS Code

1. Open Continue settings by clicking the gear icon in the Continue panel
2. Edit your `config.json` file with the following configuration:

```json
{
  "models": [
    {
      "title": "Claude Sonnet (TensorX)",
      "provider": "openai",
      "model": "claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
      "apiKey": "your-tensorx-api-key",
      "apiBase": "https://api.tensorx.ai/v1"
    },
    {
      "title": "GPT-4o (TensorX)",
      "provider": "openai",
      "model": "gpt-4o",
      "apiKey": "your-tensorx-api-key",
      "apiBase": "https://api.tensorx.ai/v1"
    }
  ],
  "tabAutocompleteModel": {
    "title": "TensorX Autocomplete",
    "provider": "openai",
    "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
    "apiKey": "your-tensorx-api-key",
    "apiBase": "https://api.tensorx.ai/v1"
  }
}
```

### JetBrains IDEs

The configuration is the same for JetBrains IDEs. Access Continue settings through:

1. Open the Continue tool window
2. Click on settings
3. Edit the `config.json` with the configuration above

## Config File Location

The Continue config file is located at:

* **Mac/Linux**: `~/.continue/config.json`
* **Windows**: `%USERPROFILE%\.continue\config.json`

## Multiple Models

You can add multiple TensorX models for different use cases:

```json
{
  "models": [
    {
      "title": "Claude Sonnet 4 (Complex Tasks)",
      "provider": "openai",
      "model": "claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
      "apiKey": "your-tensorx-api-key",
      "apiBase": "https://api.tensorx.ai/v1"
    },
    {
      "title": "Claude 3.5 Haiku (Quick Tasks)",
      "provider": "openai",
      "model": "claude-3-5-haiku-20241022",
      "apiKey": "your-tensorx-api-key",
      "apiBase": "https://api.tensorx.ai/v1"
    },
    {
      "title": "GPT-4o Mini (Fast)",
      "provider": "openai",
      "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
      "apiKey": "your-tensorx-api-key",
      "apiBase": "https://api.tensorx.ai/v1"
    }
  ]
}
```

## Tab Autocomplete

Enable code autocomplete with TensorX:

```json
{
  "tabAutocompleteModel": {
    "title": "TensorX Autocomplete",
    "provider": "openai",
    "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
    "apiKey": "your-tensorx-api-key",
    "apiBase": "https://api.tensorx.ai/v1"
  },
  "tabAutocompleteOptions": {
    "debounceDelay": 500,
    "maxPromptTokens": 1500
  }
}
```

## Available Models

See [TensorX Models](/api-reference/models.md) for all available models.

## Troubleshooting

### Connection issues

1. Verify your API key is correct
2. Ensure `apiBase` ends with `/v1`
3. Check the Continue output panel for error messages

### Model not working

* Confirm the model name exactly matches TensorX's supported models
* Try a different model to isolate the issue
