Runs on a private AI box you own
One compact GB10-class device — 128 GB unified memory — runs it on-premise, sold and provisioned by us. No cloud API keys, no data leaving the building.
Run Continue on a private AI box
License: Apache-2.0
An open-source in-IDE assistant — autocomplete, chat, and edits in VS Code or JetBrains — backed by a model on your own box.
What it is
- An IDE extension for inline completion, chat, and code edits.
- Works in both VS Code and JetBrains.
- Fully configurable providers, including plain OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
Continue is an independent project. BrainOutput has no affiliation, endorsement, or partnership with it — we sell the private hardware you can run it on. Project: Continue.
Cloud API keys vs your private box
The tool is the same either way. What changes is where your prompts and files go, and how you pay.
| Cloud API keys | Your private box | |
|---|---|---|
| Data location | Prompts and files are sent to a third-party API | Everything stays on hardware in your office |
| Cost model | Metered per token — scales with usage, indefinitely | A fixed hardware cost — local inference is unmetered |
| Availability | Vendor uptime, rate limits, and model retirements apply | Runs offline; you control uptime and model versions |
| EU compliance | Data-transfer and processor terms to manage per vendor | EU hardware on your premises — sovereignty is physical, not contractual |
| Model choice | Whatever the vendor exposes | Any open-weight model that fits the box — swap freely |
Indicative hardware start prices are €3 650,22 HT (ASUS) / €4 328,25 HT (Dell); the full sovereign setup is sur devis.
How it connects to your box
Continue's config accepts an openai provider with an explicit apiBase (or an ollama provider).
- Add an openai provider whose apiBase is your box's OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
- Set the model — completion and chat then run against your private model.
How BrainOutput fits
- We provide the device and the local model your whole dev team's IDEs connect to.
- Your code and prompts stay on your own network.
Frequently asked questions
- Does Continue support local models?
- Yes — configure the openai provider with your box's apiBase (or use its ollama provider) to run entirely on local inference.
- Both VS Code and JetBrains?
- Yes; the same configuration approach applies in either IDE.
- License?
- Apache-2.0, verified against its repository.
Run it on a box we set up for you
We size the device, install an OpenAI-compatible model stack, and hand you the endpoint this app points at. The app stays free and yours.
