🐝 We partnered with Mistral AI to launch their latest model, Codestral, in May! Follow this walkthrough to begin using it and read more about how to try it out with Ollama here

🎧 We heard a lot of requests for the currently open file to be used as context, so this is now the default. That said, you can use Alt/Option+Enter to make a request without it

🧠 @codebase retrieval, which indexes your codebase so that it can later automatically pull in the most relevant context from your workspace, is now available in JetBrains too

🍀 The new (experimental) .prompt file format makes it easy to build, edit, and share your own custom slash commands

🐋 We discussed Continue on the Bret Fisher Docker and DevOps podcast and LanceDB wrote about how we use them on their blog this past month too
