Continue.dev + Gonka AI - AI for VS Code/JetBrains

Continue uses ~/.continue/config.yaml (the old config.json format is deprecated). Open it via the command palette: Ctrl+Shift+P (on macOS — Cmd+Shift+P) → "Continue: Open config.yaml".

Add the JoinGonka Gateway as a provider:

# ~/.continue/config.yaml
models:
  - name: Gonka DeepSeek V4 Flash
    provider: openai
    model: deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
    apiBase: https://gate.joingonka.ai/v1
    apiKey: jg-your-key
    roles: [chat, edit, apply]
    capabilities: [tool_use]
  - name: Gonka GLM-5.3 Flash
    provider: openai
    model: zai-org/GLM-5.3-Flash
    apiBase: https://gate.joingonka.ai/v1
    apiKey: jg-your-key
    roles: [chat, edit, apply]
    capabilities: [tool_use]
  - name: Gonka MiniMax M2.7
    provider: openai
    model: MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7
    apiBase: https://gate.joingonka.ai/v1
    apiKey: jg-your-key
    roles: [chat, edit, apply]
    capabilities: [tool_use]
  - name: Gonka Autocomplete
    provider: openai
    model: deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
    apiBase: https://gate.joingonka.ai/v1
    apiKey: jg-your-key
    roles: [autocomplete]

Models with the roles chat, edit, apply appear as a list in Continue — switch between them right in the chat: DeepSeek V4 Flash holds a 380K context and up to 32768 tokens of response (large files and long edits), GLM-5.3 Flash is a reasoning model for tangled logic (it thinks before answering, so it takes longer to respond), MiniMax M2.7 is faster on short answers. DeepSeek V4 Flash is set for autocomplete, and that's not a matter of taste: Continue picks the suggestion format based on the model NAME, and among the network's models only DeepSeek understands it. MiniMax responds to the same markup with reasoning instead of code, and GLM-5.3 Flash, as a reasoning model, isn't meant for autocomplete — the suggestions will be garbage.

Autocomplete over a decentralized network is slower than Copilot's: about two seconds per suggestion versus a fraction of a second. Chat, edits and agent mode are unaffected.

The line capabilities: [tool_use] is required for agent mode. Continue only enables tools for models on its list (gpt-*, o*, codex*) — Gonka's models aren't there, and without this line the agent is left without tools: it can't read files, can't edit code, and the chat can't see the project. The gateway itself does support tool-calling.

Project indexing (@codebase) requires an embedding model — Gonka's network doesn't have one yet. Add context via @file and @folder, or work in agent mode, which reads files with tools.

To avoid keeping your key in plain sight, Continue supports substitution with apiKey: ${{ secrets.GONKA_API_KEY }} and a variable in ~/.continue/.env.

Check: open any file with code and start typing — autocomplete should work. Or open the Continue chat (Ctrl+L) and ask a question.

Important: make sure apiBase includes /v1 at the end of the URL. Without it, requests will return 404.
