Continue (IDE extension) launched on August 8, 2023 with 227 votes, #159 of 4,347 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

What it does

Continue is the open-source autopilot for software development built to be deeply customizable and continuously learn from development data. It's a VS Code extension that brings the power of ChatGPT to your IDE

Continue has been acquired by Cursor.

Continue was acquired by Cursor . Our mission was always to ensure developers are amplified, not automated, and that commitment carries on in the work ahead. It was an honor to build with the Continue community. Thank you to each and every one of you who helped us create a pioneering open-source coding agent. What we built together pushed the boundaries of what AI developer tooling could be, and our open-source codebase remains freely available as a foundation forfrom continue.dev

    Hi HN, we’re Nate and Ty, co-founders of Continue, an open-source autopilot for software development built to be deeply customizable and continuously learn from development data. It consists of an extended language server and (to start) a VS Code extension. Our GitHub is https://github.com/continuedev/continue. You can watch a demo of Continue and download the extension at https://continue.dev — — — A growing number of developers are replacing Google + Stack Overflow with Large Language Models (LLMs) as their primary approach to get help, similar to how…

    Use Code Llama as Drop-In Replacement for Copilot Chat2023 · continue.dev · ▲187

    Hi HN, Code Llama was released, but we noticed a ton of questions in the main thread about how/where to use it — not just from an API or the terminal, but in your own codebase as a drop-in replacement for Copilot Chat. Without this, developers don't get much utility from the model. This concern is also important because benchmarks like HumanEval don't perfectly reflect the quality of responses. There's likely to be a flurry of improvements to coding models in the coming months, and rather than relying on the benchmarks to evaluate them, the community will get better feedback from people…

    AI changed the way we code, but we're still using the old processes, and we've become the bottleneck, the AI is waiting for us - to reply, to open our laptops, to review the code, and so on. We're building the future of AI software development. The agents are autonomous, they run in sandboxes, automatically fix the pipelines, and deliver you the final, working code. You can use live preview to see the changes they made. Working across multiple repositories, all within the same session. This is the future - you don't need an IDE, and you don't have to run anything locally.

  • Outlines is a Python library that focuses on text generation with large language models. Brandon and I are not LLM experts and started the project a few months ago because we wanted to understand better how the generation process works. Our original background is probabilistic, relational and symbolic programming. Recently we came up with a fast way to generate text that matches a regex (https://blog.normalcomputing.ai/posts/2023-07-27-regex-guide...). The basic idea is simple: regular expressions have an equivalent Deterministic-Finite Automaton (DFA) representation. We…
