How to configure custom OpenAI-compatible model in Continue.dev?

I'm trying to configure a Z.ai GLM model in the Continue.dev VS Code extension, but the model doesn't appear in the dropdown menu despite having what appears to be a correct configuration.

My Current Configuration

I have the following in ~/.continue/config.yaml:

name: Local Agent
version: 1.0.0
schema: v1
models:
  - name: "ZGLM 4.6"
    provider: openai
    model: "glm-4.6"
    apiBase: "https://api.z.ai/api/coding/paas/v4"
    apiKey: "my-api-key"
    roles:
      - chat
      - edit
      - apply

What I've Tried:

• Verified the YAML syntax is valid

• Restarted VS Code multiple times

• Followed the Continue.dev documentation for OpenAI-compatible providers

Expected Behavior

The "ZGLM 4.6" model should appear in Continue.dev's model dropdown for Chat, Edit, and other roles.

Actual Behavior

The model doesn't appear in any dropdown menus. Only the default models (Claude Sonnet 4.5, Mercury Coder, etc.) are visible.

What am I missing in my configuration? Are there any common pitfalls when setting up custom OpenAI-compatible models in Continue.dev?

Thanks for the attention, everyone!

I needed to look more thoroughly through the Continue extension to select Local Config instead of Default Assistant.

Selecting the Local Config option was the step i missed.
