I love OpenCode! I wrote a plugin that adds two tools: prune and retrieve. Prune lets the LLM select messages to remove from the conversation and replace with a summary and key terms. The retrieve tool lets it get those original messages back in case they're needed. I've been livestreaming the development and using it on side projects to make sure it's actually effective... And it turns out it really is! It feels like working with an infinite context window.

Just remember, OpenCode is sending telemetry to their own servers, even when you're using your own locally hosted models. There are no environment variables, flags, or other configuration options to disable this behavior.¹ At least you can easily turn off telemetry in Claude Code - just set CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC to 1. You can use Claude Code with llama.cpp and vLLM, too right out of the box with no…

That linked code is not used by the opencode agent instance though right? Looks related to their web server?

Are you sure that endpoint is sending all traffic to opencode? I'm not familiar with Hono but it looks like a catch all route if none of the above match and is used to serve the front-end web interface?

updated post accordingly

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Anthropic's model deployments for Claude Code are likely optimized for Claude Code. I wouldn't be surprised if they had optimizations like sharing of system prompt KV-cache across users, or a speculative execution model specifically fine-tuned for the way Claude Code does tool calls. When setting your token limits, their economics calculations likely assume that those optimizations are going to work. If you're using…

- OR - it's about lock-in. Build the single pane of glass everyone uses. Offer it under cost. Salt the earth and kill everything else that moves. Nobody can afford to run alternative interfaces, so they die. This game is as old as time. Remember Reddit apps? Alternative Twitter clients? In a few years, CC will be the only survivor and viable option. It also kneecaps attempts to distill Opus.

It’s probably a mixture of things including direct control over how the api is called and used as pointed out above and giving a discount for using their ecosystem. They are in fact a business so it should not surprise anyone they act as one.

Seems interesting, but at a glance I can't find a repo or a package manager download for this. Have you made it available anywhere?

The Agent that is blacklisted from Anthropic AI, soon more to come. I really like how their subagents work, as a bonus I get to choose which model is in which agent. Sadly I have to resort to the mess that Anthropic calls Claude Code

a $3000 AMD395+ will get you pretty close to a open development environment.

There are boards starting in the $1500-$2000 range, and complete systems in the $2500-$2700 range. I actually don't know of any Strix Halo mini PCs that cost $3000, do you?

EDIT: The system I bought last summer for $1980 and just took delivery of in October, Beelink GTR 9 Pro, is now $2999.... wow...

Does opencode still work if you blackhole the telemetry?
