Continue
Continue is an open-source extension for chat, edits, and autocomplete in VS Code and JetBrains. You connect a model provider or a local model. The extension is free; model use may not be.

Preliminary
Editorial score out of 10. Not a benchmark.
What we tried
Installed the VS Code extension, connected a model, and asked for an edit in one file. The config step is the whole product decision.
Scores are preliminary editorial notes from a short hands-on pass. They are not benchmark results, not pass rates, and not for sale. A shared task suite is not published yet, so we do not print speed, cost, or success-rate figures.
Preliminary notes
- Setup6/10
- Editing7/10
- Agent work6/10
- Docs and control8/10
Good fit
- Staying in VS Code with a model you choose
- Teams that do not want a separate AI IDE
Limits
- Quality tracks the model you attach
- The agent experience is lighter than Cline or a dedicated IDE
