Show HN: Continue for JetBrains - how we made it IDE-agnostic

Hi HN! Since launching Continue two months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36882146), we've received amazing feedback, added features, and greatly improved reliability. But one of the biggest things we heard was the desire for a JetBrains extension. My co-founder Ty and I are super excited to share that we've released an extension for PyCharm, Intellij, WebStorm, and most other JetBrains IDEs - ready for alpha users at https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/22707-continue. Perhaps the most exciting part is that this effort was kickstarted and in great part developed by a community contributor! If you're curious what it took to make this happen, check out the PR here (https://github.com/continuedev/continue/pull/457). We hope to eventually support every IDE, so we made adding a new extension as easy as implementing a single class.

Show HN: Use Code Llama as Drop-In Replacement for Copilot Chat

Hi HN, Code Llama was released, but we noticed a ton of questions in the main thread about how/where to use it — not just from an API or the terminal, but in your own codebase as a drop-in replacement for Copilot Chat. Without this, developers don't get much utility from the model. This concern is also important because benchmarks like HumanEval don't perfectly reflect the quality of responses. There's likely to be a flurry of improvements to coding models in the coming months, and rather than relying on the benchmarks to evaluate them, the community will get better feedback from people actually using the models. This means real usage in real, everyday workflows. We've worked to make this possible with Continue (https://github.com/continuedev/continue) and want to hear what you find to be the real capabilities of Code Llama. Is it on-par

with GPT-4, does it require fine-tuning, or does it excel at certain tasks? If you’d like to try Code Llama with Continue, it only takes a few steps to set up (https://continue.dev/docs/walkthroughs/codellama), either locally with Ollama, or through TogetherAI or Replicate's APIs.

I'm not aware of any reason we would be connecting to windows.net. I would be surprised if VS Code did not already have access to Desktop / Documents / etc. but if this is the case, then Continue reads the currently open files as context for the LLM. It would be very useful to hear more about the details of these two cases so we can try to better reproduce and solve the problem. Would you be interested in opening a new issue? (https://github.com/continuedev/continue/issues/new) Continue will cache Python packages in ~/.continue/server/env after the first download, but there might be something else causing slower startup. Will look into this as well! Meilisearch is an open-source search library. We connect to meilisearch.com only in order to download the software, which then runs completely locally to power search in the dropdown as you ty

"Continue works with any LLM, including local models using ggml" Which of the local models have you seen the best results with? UPDATE: Found a note here https://github.com/continuedev/continue/blob/ce76e391775034c... that says "While these models don't yet perform as well, they are free, entirely private, and run offline." and points to the documentation here for how to run one, but doesn't really recommend a specific model: https://github.com/continuedev/ggml-server-example
