Edit Role

It's often useful to select a different model to respond to Edit prompts than for chat prompts, as Edits are often more code-specific and may require less conversational readability.

In Continue, you can add edit to a model's roles to specify that it can be used for Edit requests. If no edit models are specified, the selected chat model is used.

YAML

Use model roles.

config.yaml

models:
  - name: Claude 3.5 Sonnet
    provider: anthropic
    model: claude-3-5-sonnet-latest
    apiKey: <YOUR_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY>
    roles:
      - edit

JSON

Set the experimental.modelRoles.inlineEdit property in config.json.

config.json

{
    "models": {
        "name": "Claude 3.5 Sonnet",
    "provider": "anthropic",
    "model": "claude-3-5-sonnet-latest",
    "apiKey": "<YOUR_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY>"
  },
  "experimental": {
      "modelRoles": {
          "inlineEdit": "Claude 3.5 Sonnet",
    }
  }
}
