# Continue

Continue is an open-source coding assistant platform, that integrates with your IDE, allowing you to:

* Interact with a Large Language Model (LLM) directly within your development environment.
* Edit code without leaving your current working file.
* Build and customize shortcuts for increased productivity.

You can leverage a variety of models on the SambaCloud to enhance your coding experience.

## Install Continue in your IDE

Continue supports Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IDEs. Follow these steps to set it up:

1. [Install Continue](https://docs.continue.dev/getting-started/install?ref=blog.continue.dev): To install Continue, add the extension/plugin to your preferred IDE.
2. Open configuration: To configure Continue, select the gear icon in Continue to access `config.json`.
3. Sign up for [SambaCloud](https://cloud.sambanova.ai/?ref=blog.continue.dev), create an account, and get your [free API key](https://cloud.sambanova.ai/apis?ref=blog.continue.dev).

## Add the model to your configuration file

Update your `config.json` file to include the Qwen model:

```python
{
  "models": [
    {
      "model": "Qwen3-32B",
      "provider": "sambanova",
      "apiKey": "<insert-api-key>",
      "title": "Qwen3-32B",
    }
  ],
}
```

1. Replace `<insert-api-key>` with your SambaNova API key.
2. Save the file to apply the changes.
3. Select `cmd/ctrl+L` to open Continue and ask your first question.
