Add Qwen3.6 35B A3B to Continue as a model in config.yaml.

1 Set your API key
Put it in ~/.continue/.env, without quotes. Continue's IDE extensions read secrets from this file, not from your shell.
.env
```
MALLARD_API_KEY=your key
```

2 Add the model

Add this to ~/.continue/config.yaml, or %USERPROFILE%\.continue\config.yaml on Windows. If the file exists, add only the entry under models.

config.yaml

schema: v1

    apiKey: ${{ secrets.MALLARD_API_KEY }}

3 Restart the IDE
Restart the IDE so Continue reads the key. Then choose Qwen3.6 35B A3B (Mallard AI) in Continue's model list.
