> Configure MaxAPI models in VS Code or JetBrains.

[Continue](https://www.continue.dev/) is an open-source coding assistant for VS Code and JetBrains.

Open **Continue: Open config**, then add:

```yaml theme={null}
models:
  - name: MaxAPI model
    provider: openai
    model: YOUR_MODEL_ID
    apiKey: YOUR_API_KEY
    apiBase: https://api.maxapi.ai/v1
```

<Warning>
  Store API keys only on trusted devices. Never commit a real key to Git or share it with others.
</Warning>

Select **MaxAPI model** from the model menu and start a chat. Use a fast model for autocomplete and a stronger model for agent tasks.
