Continue.dev

Configure Continue for VS Code or JetBrains with OpenAI-compatible Prismatic models.

Configuration

  • Open config.json from Continue settings.
  • Set every model provider to openai.
  • Set apiBase to https://api.prismaticapi.com/v1.
  • Use tabAutocompleteModel for a faster low-cost model if you enable autocomplete.

Example

{
  "models": [
    {
      "title": "Prismatic Sonnet",
      "provider": "openai",
      "model": "claude-sonnet-4-6",
      "apiBase": "https://api.prismaticapi.com/v1",
      "apiKey": "pa_YOUR_KEY"
    },
    {
      "title": "Prismatic Fast",
      "provider": "openai",
      "model": "claude-haiku-4-5",
      "apiBase": "https://api.prismaticapi.com/v1",
      "apiKey": "pa_YOUR_KEY"
    }
  ]
}
{
  "tabAutocompleteModel": {
    "title": "Prismatic Fast",
    "provider": "openai",
    "model": "claude-haiku-4-5",
    "apiBase": "https://api.prismaticapi.com/v1",
    "apiKey": "pa_YOUR_KEY"
  }
}

Recommended models

  • claude-sonnet-4-6 — strong model for reasoning, refactors and coding agents.
  • claude-haiku-4-5 — fast option for autocomplete, small questions and lightweight tasks.
  • deepseek-v3-2 or another public ID — alternative based on your active catalog and plan.

Troubleshooting

Authentication error

Check that the API key has no extra spaces and has not been revoked in the dashboard.

Model rejected

Use a public model ID returned by GET /v1/models; do not use labels or aliases.

Connection issue

Confirm the configured base URL is exactly the one shown above and that your network allows HTTPS to api.prismaticapi.com.

Notes

  • Continue can hold multiple Prismatic models in the same config.
  • Reload the IDE after editing config.json.
  • Invalid JSON or trailing commas can prevent models from appearing.
