Continue

Set up Continue with Lightweight for AI-powered coding in VS Code.

Continue is an open-source AI coding assistant for VS Code and JetBrains. Connect it to Lightweight by editing your config file.

Setup

Edit your Continue configuration file:

File: ~/.continue/config.json

{
  "models": [
    {
      "title": "Claude Sonnet 4.5 (Lightweight)",
      "provider": "openai",
      "model": "claude-sonnet-4.5",
      "apiBase": "https://api.lightweight.one/v1",
      "apiKey": "lw_sk_your-key-here"
    },
    {
      "title": "GPT-5.4 (Lightweight)",
      "provider": "openai",
      "model": "gpt-5.4",
      "apiBase": "https://api.lightweight.one/v1",
      "apiKey": "lw_sk_your-key-here"
    },
    {
      "title": "Gemini 2.5 Pro (Lightweight)",
      "provider": "openai",
      "model": "gemini-2.5-pro",
      "apiBase": "https://api.lightweight.one/v1",
      "apiKey": "lw_sk_your-key-here"
    }
  ]
}

You can add as many models as you like. Use any model ID from the catalog. Continue’s provider should be set to "openai" since Lightweight is OpenAI-compatible.

After saving, reload the Continue extension. Your Lightweight models will appear in the model selector dropdown.
