OpenCode

“There are many models available, but only a few work well as coding agents. Providers also vary in configuration, performance, and quality, so a model accessed through a gateway such as OpenRouter may perform differently.”

“Quick disclosure on where I'm coming from: Claude Code is my daily driver at work, OpenCode is the tool I reach for in my personal use, and when I want to run a model that Anthropic doesn't ship, Kimi, an OpenAI model, or something local.”

“OpenCode covers everything I need for my daily workflow. It's fast, the provider flexibility is genuinely useful rather than theoretical, and the TUI is better for extended sessions.”

“On raw speed, Claude Code generally finishes tasks faster in head-to-head runs. OpenCode can be slower on the same task, though Builder.io's comparison notes that it often generates more tests along the way, which shifts some verification work off your plate.”

“To keep things fair, I used the exact same model (Claude Sonnet 4.5) and ran everything in fresh Docker containers to avoid any local configuration bias.”

“OpenCode is an open source coding agent. It’s available as a terminal-based interface, desktop app, or web app.”

“OpenCode integrates with VS Code, Cursor, or any IDE that supports a terminal. Just run opencode in the terminal to get started.”

“A common setup is to ask before running shell commands, allow routine Git inspection, and always block pushes.”

“Value being used, such as a path, command, URL, query, skill ID, or agent ID”

“An agent combines a system prompt, model preference, permissions, and display details into a named assistant profile.”

“Subagents run with fresh context in foreground or background child sessions.”

“Snapshots let you undo recent conversation and file changes together.”

“You can also select an earlier message and choose Revert to stage a rollback to that point.”

“OpenCode automatically discovers models from Ollama, LM Studio, and vLLM at their default local addresses.”

“OpenCode includes a provider and model catalog from models.dev.”

“LM Studio and vLLM also have built-in local discovery. Their default endpoints are http://127.0.0.1:1234/v1 and http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1.”

“Usage tracking and budget controls Deploy team-wide policies to control OpenCode behavior”

“Go Teams $20/member/month Every member gets their own limits, $5/month higher than Go on every model”

“AI models. Your OpenCode agent sends what it receives from a Connected Service to the AI model you or your workspace chose, to complete your request. When a third party provides that model, that third party's terms and retention policies apply. We don't use data from Connected Services to train, develop or improve artificial intelligence or machine learning models, and we don't sell it or use it for advertising.”

“Workspace privacy settings apply to Go. By default, paid endpoints that train on request data are blocked, and allowed regions are Europe & United States.”
