# Continue

Set up sivcloud in Continue: a ready-to-copy configuration snippet.

Continue uses the chat completions endpoint through the `openai` provider. The list of models and the endpoints each one opens is on the Models page in the console.

## Set up

**`~/.continue/config.yaml`**

```yaml
name: sivcloud
version: 0.0.1
schema: v1
models:
  - name: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash
    provider: openai
    model: deepseek-v4.1-flash
    apiBase: https://ai.sivcloud.com/v1
    apiKey: SIVCLOUD_API_KEY
```

Replace SIVCLOUD_API_KEY with your API key.

## Check

1. Save the configuration, then restart Continue if needed.
2. Send a short message. The usage shows on the [Usage](https://sivcloud.com/en/docs/console/usage/) page within moments.
3. Seeing `invalid_api_key`? Check the API key. Seeing `model_not_found`? Check the model id. Full list: [Error codes](https://sivcloud.com/en/docs/errors/).

The request format is explained on the [endpoint page](https://sivcloud.com/en/docs/chat-completions/). Never write the API key into a file that goes into a repository.
