I wrote this announcement when Continue joined the Heavybit portfolio. Continue integrates large language models directly into VS Code and JetBrains, so engineers do not have to copy code between applications, make edits, and re-prompt separate AI tools.

The reason we backed the team is the IDE-native, open-source design. Developer tools succeed when they meet engineers where they already work. Continue does that.
