Company information
The facts on file
- Description
- Continue was an open-source, model-agnostic AI coding assistant delivered as a VS Code extension, JetBrains plugin and CLI, letting developers plug in any model and pull context from internal tools such as Jira and Confluence. Its pitch centred on data control and transparency for privacy-sensitive and regulated teams. As of the vendor's homepage retrieved 2026-08-31, Continue has been acquired by Cursor, subscriptions have ended and recurring billing is disabled; only the Apache 2.0 codebase remains, reportedly read-only and unmaintained.
