Continue model routing

Use Continue with local and cloud models

Point Continue at one OpenAI-compatible TEKIZ.AI address for hosted, local, or Tailnet coding sessions. Keep the same Continue setup while TEKIZ.AI checks availability and switches to a backup when needed.

OpenAI-compatible provider

Continue can use TEKIZ.AI as an OpenAI-compatible model provider with apiBase set to https://api.tekiz.ai/v1 or local port 8790.

Local Ollama fallback

Use local-first routes for cheap background edits, balanced routes for normal sessions, and stronger authorized cloud routes when local models are degraded or undersized.

Keep working when an account is busy

When a Continue route, provider key, or model reaches a limit, TEKIZ.AI Router can choose another working route. Continue keeps one provider configuration.

Continue configuration file

# ~/.continue/config.yaml
name: TEKIZ.AI
version: 0.0.1
schema: v1

models:
  - name: TEKIZ.AI Frontier
    provider: openai
    model: tekizai/frontier
    apiBase: https://api.tekiz.ai/v1
    apiKey: sk_tekiz_your_generated_key
  - name: TEKIZ.AI Auto
    provider: openai
    model: tekizai/auto
    apiBase: https://api.tekiz.ai/v1
    apiKey: sk_tekiz_your_generated_key

# Local router alternative:
# apiBase: http://localhost:8790/v1
# apiKey: local-router
# Store a generated key in Continue's secret storage when available;
# never commit a workspace config that contains one.
# Continue loads config.yaml before the older config.json format.

Normal coding sessions

Use balanced routing for everyday Continue chat and edits, then escalate to stronger routes when quality or context needs rise.

Use more than one account key

Authorized credential pools can load balance and fail over on rate limits, provider health, latency, and policy.

Use accounts you are allowed to use

TEKIZ.AI does not grant unauthorized OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, NVIDIA, Ollama Cloud, or other provider access. Customers bring authorized credentials or use hosted routing for TEKIZ.AI account control.

Change routed models from one Continue setup

Continue keeps one OpenAI-compatible provider entry while TEKIZ.AI chooses local or cloud models, switches to backups, and shows which route handled each request.

Next steps

Create an API key, open the Continue guide, copy the hosted quickstart, or estimate routing fit.
