Continue - Hostlinku Docs

Continue is configured via config.yaml. Each model has a provider, apiBase, apiKey, and a list of roles (chat, edit, apply, …). For Hostlinku, use the openai provider with the apiBase set to gateway.

Supported roles

Role	Support via Hostlinku	Notes
`chat`	Yes	All catalog models.
`edit`, `apply`	Yes	Use the model with the calling tool; `claude-sonnet-4-6` works very well for apply.
`summarize`	Yes	Low-cost models such as `deepseek-v4-flash` / `claude-haiku-4-5`.
`autocomplete`	No	Requires a FIM model via `/v1/completions`. Leave this role to another provider (e.g., a local model).
`embed`, `rerank`	No	Hostlinku does not yet provide embeddings/rerank endpoints.

If edit/apply is not given a specific model, Continue uses the active chat model.

Troubleshooting

The model does not appear in the dropdown — the YAML indentation is incorrect or roles does not include chat. Look for Output → Continue in VS Code.
401 — ~/.continue/.env was not read; reload the configuration or restart the IDE.
404 model_not_found — model: must be the exact slug from GET /v1/models.
Streaming is choppy — make sure there are no corporate proxies buffering text/event-stream.
