Use Continue with any AI provider

Continue AI Assistant. Pointing Continue at kRouter gives it 100+ providers behind a single local endpoint — free tiers, subscriptions you already pay for, and paid APIs — with automatic failover when one runs out. Continue is configured through its own settings UI.

What changes for Continue

Nothing about how you use Continue changes — same interface, same workflow. What changes is where its requests land. Instead of being tied to one vendor and one bill, every request goes through your own machine first and out to whichever provider you mapped: a free tier for routine edits, a subscription you already pay for on the heavy turns, a paid API only when nothing else fits. When one account hits a limit, the next takes over mid-session rather than failing the task. And because the router runs locally, your prompts are not passing through a third-party service on the way.
