Introducing Continue: The Open Source Alternative to GitHub Copilot for Coding
The video introduces 'Continue,' an open source alternative to GitHub Copilot, designed to enhance coding with AI assistance in VS Code and JetBrains. It offers the capability to integrate various AI models such as Claude-3, GPT-4, Groq, Ollama, and more. I walk through the installation process on VS Code, demonstrating how to access and select from free models, accept or reject code suggestions, add different models by inserting API keys, and edit code directly within the editor. The highlighted features include intuitive command shortcuts, the ability to ask descriptive questions about code, and support for numerous AI providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Ollama.
