Continue

Continue can use OdiRouter through its OpenAI provider configuration. Current Continue configuration should use config.yaml first; add OdiRouter as a model entry with apiBase set to the OdiRouter /v1 endpoint.

Requirements

Requirement	Value
Editor	VS Code or JetBrains with Continue installed
Provider	openai
API Base	https://www.odirouter.ai/v1
API Key	OdiRouter API key
Model	An OdiRouter LLM model ID

Install Continue

1. Install Continue from your editor’s extension marketplace.
2. Open the Continue panel.
3. Open model settings or the Continue configuration file.

Configure In The UI

1. Add a new model.
2. Choose the OpenAI provider.
3. Set the model to an OdiRouter model ID, such as gpt-5.5.
4. Set API Base to https://www.odirouter.ai/v1.
5. Paste your OdiRouter API key.
6. Save the model and make it active.

Configure In config.yaml

models:
  - name: OdiRouter
    provider: openai
    model: gpt-5.5
    apiBase: https://www.odirouter.ai/v1
    apiKey: YOUR_API_KEY
    useResponsesApi: false

useResponsesApi: false keeps Continue on Chat Completions style requests. Remove it only if you have confirmed that your Continue version and selected OdiRouter model can use the Responses API.

Legacy JSON Config

Older Continue versions that still use JSON can use the same fields:

{
  "title": "OdiRouter",
  "provider": "openai",
  "model": "gpt-5.5",
  "apiBase": "https://www.odirouter.ai/v1",
  "apiKey": "YOUR_API_KEY",
  "useResponsesApi": false
}

Verify The Connection

Ask Continue:

Summarize the selected code without editing it.

Then test an edit workflow:

Propose a small improvement and show the patch before applying it.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Fix
Continue calls OpenAI instead of OdiRouter	Confirm apiBase is set on the active model entry
401 or invalid key	Use an OdiRouter API key
Model not found	Use a model from GET https://www.odirouter.ai/v1/models
Request uses an incompatible API	Set useResponsesApi: false on the model entry
Config change does not apply	Reload the editor window or restart Continue
