Continue → AI24X
Continue is an open-source coding assistant for VS Code and JetBrains. Point it at AI24X with the OpenAI provider—one key for flash/pro and VIP named models.
1) Prerequisites
Sign up → Console → create an API key → keep a small credit balance. Install the Continue extension.
2) config.yaml (recommended)
Edit ~/.continue/config.yaml (or the config opened from Continue settings):
name: AI24X
version: 1.0.0
schema: v1
models:
- name: AI24X Flash
provider: openai
model: flash
apiBase: https://api.ai24x.com/v1
apiKey: YOUR_AI24X_API_KEY
roles:
- chat
- edit
- apply
- name: AI24X Pro
provider: openai
model: pro
apiBase: https://api.ai24x.com/v1
apiKey: YOUR_AI24X_API_KEY
roles:
- chat
- edit
3) config.json (legacy)
{
"models": [
{
"title": "AI24X Flash",
"provider": "openai",
"model": "flash",
"apiBase": "https://api.ai24x.com/v1",
"apiKey": "YOUR_AI24X_API_KEY"
}
]
}
4) Pitfalls
apiBasemust include/v1.- 401 = bad, truncated, or rotated key—paste the full key, or create a new one in Console.
- Start with flash; VIP named ids need an active membership.
- If a build defaults to Responses: text chat can use /v1/responses; for tools / agent tool-calling set useResponsesApi: false and use chat/completions.
