Stacks / AI chat

Easy

Continue + LiteLLM

IDE autocomplete and chat over your models. GitHub Copilot without the seat.

The problem

GitHub Copilot Pro is $10/month per developer, then Pro+ and Max climb the credit ladder. Continue is the OSS IDE extension; LiteLLM already sits in the ChatGPT stack and can serve the same keys.

Sponsor this stack

Continue runs in the editor. LiteLLM is the Railway piece (already a c17 stack). Point Continue at the LiteLLM OpenAI-compatible URL.

Agent setup prompt

Replace GitHub Copilot with Continue pointed at LiteLLM.

- Deploy LiteLLM (see the Open WebUI stack) or reuse that proxy. Continue config uses the OpenAI-compatible endpoint and your model name.
- Document one working VS Code setup. You still pay tokens. You stop paying Copilot seats.

FAQ

Is this the ChatGPT Team stack?
Same proxy (LiteLLM), different UI. Open WebUI is the chat window. Continue is the editor. One set of keys.
