Continue is an open-source VS Code and JetBrains agent with a strong local-first story (Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp first-class) and a configurable per-task model router. It started as a code assistant and is layering agentic features on top, so the SWE-bench numbers trail the agent-native harnesses but the customization surface is broader than most.
