Verdict: Continue or omp?

Updated 2026-08-03

Choose Continue if you are developers who want full control over their AI coding assistant. Choose Oh My Pi if you are power users who want IDE-grade tooling — LSP, debuggers, subagents — inside a terminal agent.

In our editorial scoring, Oh My Pi leads in 3 of six categories (output quality, autonomy and speed), while Continue leads in 1 (ease of use). On price, Continue runs free (byo api key) and is open source; Oh My Pi runs free (mit) — bring your own model and is open source.

Where Continue falls short
  • Configuration-heavy: the power comes with real setup time
  • Out-of-the-box autocomplete is weaker than Copilot or Cursor

Where omp falls short
  • A young, fast-moving project — expect sharp edges and frequent releases
  • 32 built-in tools means more surface to configure and more context overhead than minimal agents

In-Depth Comparison

Continue Overview

Continue is an open-source AI coding assistant that works as an extension for VS Code and JetBrains IDEs. It offers chat, autocomplete, and inline editing with full control over which models you use. Highly customizable with support for local models, cloud APIs, and custom context providers.

Oh My Pi Overview

Oh My Pi (omp) is Can Bölük's fork of Pi, rewritten as a coding-first surface with a native Rust engine doing the heavy lifting. Where Pi stays deliberately minimal, omp packs an IDE-grade tool surface into the terminal: hash-anchored (hashline) edits that reject stale patches before they corrupt files, LSP-powered diagnostics and refactoring, real debugger control via DAP, persistent Python and JavaScript cells, browser automation, subagents, plan mode, and hindsight memory. It routes across 40+ providers by intent and accepts custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints via a models.yml.
