Continue is a platform that allows you to create and operate custom AI agents directly within your development workflow, including your IDE, terminal, and CI pipelines.
1.1 Usage
Method 1: Config File (Recommended)
Add your configuration in ~/.continue/config.json or continue/config.json in your project:
{
"models": [
{
"name": "Rygen API",
"provider": "openai",
"model": "your-model-name",
"apiBase": "https://api.rygen.io/v1",
"apiKey": "your-rygen-api-key"
}
]
}Method 2: Full Configuration Example
{
"name": "Rygen API",
"version": "0.0.1",
"schema": "v1",
"models": [
{
"name": "Rygen API",
"provider": "openai",
"model": "your-model-name",
"apiBase": "https://api.rygen.io/v1",
"apiKey": "your-rygen-api-key",
"defaultCompletionOptions": {
"maxTokens": 4000,
"temperature": 0.6
},
"roles": ["chat", "edit", "apply", "embed"]
}
],
"context": {
"providers": [
{ "provider": "problems" },
{ "provider": "tree" },
{ "provider": "url" },
{ "provider": "search" },
{ "provider": "folder" },
{ "provider": "codebase" },
{ "provider": "web" }
]
}
}Method 3: Multiple Roles Setup
{
"models": [
{
"name": "Chat Model",
"provider": "openai",
"model": "your-model-name",
"apiBase": "https://api.rygen.io/v1",
"apiKey": "your-rygen-api-key",
"roles": ["chat", "edit", "apply"]
},
{
"name": "Autocomplete Model",
"provider": "openai",
"model": "your-model-name",
"apiBase": "https://api.rygen.io/v1",
"apiKey": "your-rygen-api-key",
"roles": ["autocomplete"]
},
{
"name": "Embedding Model",
"provider": "openai",
"model": "your-model-name",
"apiBase": "https://api.rygen.io/v1",
"apiKey": "your-rygen-api-key",
"roles": ["embed"]
}
]
}Method 4: Legacy Completions Endpoint
For models that support /completions instead of /chat/completions:
{
"models": [
{
"name": "Rygen.IO API",
"provider": "openai",
"model": "your-model-name",
"apiBase": "https://api.rygen.io/v1",
"apiKey": "your-rygen-api-key",
"useLegacyCompletionsEndpoint": true
}
]
}1.2 Troubleshooting
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| Model not appearing | Double-check config.json structure and syntax |
| Chat not working | Enable useLegacyCompletionsEndpoint: true if needed |
