issues getting anything to work

[kevintprivett]

using version 1.2.10, tried other versions
using vscodium 1.102.24914, tried on vscode as well with no success.

tried using the following localconfig (copied from continue hub):

name: Claude 4 Sonnet
version: 1.0.4
schema: v1
models:
  - name: Claude Sonnet 4.5
    provider: anthropic
    model: claude-sonnet-4-5
    api_key: my_plain_text_api_key
    roles:
      - chat
      - edit
      - apply
    defaultCompletionOptions:
      contextLength: 200000
      maxTokens: 64000
    capabilities:
      - tool_use
      - image_input

But keep getting this response:
Request not sent. You have an Anthropic model configured in your config.json, but the API key is not set.

What's the path your config is located? config.json have deprecated and we recommend config.yaml

https://docs.continue.dev/reference

I gathered that, which adds to my confusion about this error.

What I shared is my config.yaml, located in the .continue folder, haven't changed anything from what continue defaults to.

Claude has native tool calling, this might need to be removed.

capabilities:
      - tool_use
      - image_input
