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...

not mini PCs, no, but there are laptops that do

the boards now are pricier, at least the framework one. I got it for 1700, and now its ~$2400.

They are not blacklisted. You are allowed to use the API at commercial usage pricing. You are just not allowed to use your Claude Code subscription with OpenCode (or any other third‑party harness for the record).

Has it occurred to anyone that Anthropic highest in the industry API pricing is a play to drive you into their subscription? For the lock-in?

The highest in in the industry for API pricing right now is GPT-5.4-Pro, OpenRouter adding that as an option in their Auto Router was when I had to go customise the routing settings because it was not even close to providing $30/m input tokens and $180/m output tokens of value (for context Opus 4.6 is $5/m input and $25/m output)

(Ok, technically o1-pro is even more expensive, but I'm assuming that's a "please move on" pricing)

I tried to use it but OpenCode won't even open for me on Wayland (Ubuntu 24.04), whichever terminal emulator I use. I wasn't even aware TUI could have compatibility issues with Wayland

Definitely not Wayland related, or so I doubt. I'm on wayland and never had any issues, and it's a TUI, where the terminal emulator does or does not do GPU work. What led you to that conclusion?

This issue: https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/9505

And then the official docs: https://opencode.ai/docs/troubleshooting/#linux-wayland--x11...

> Linux: Wayland / X11 issues

> On Linux, some Wayland setups can cause blank windows or compositor errors.

> If you’re on Wayland and the app is blank/crashing, try launching with OC_ALLOW_WAYLAND=1.

> If that makes things worse, remove it and try launching under an X11 session instead.

OC_ALLOW_WAYLAND=1 didn't work for me (Ubuntu 24.04)

Suggesting to use a different display server to use a TUI (!!) seems a bit wild to me. I didn't put a lot of time into investigating this so maybe there is another reason than Wayland. Anyway I'm using Pi now

OpenCode was the first open source agent I used, and my main workhorse after experimenting briefly with Claude Code and realizing the potential of agentic coding. Due to that, and because it's a popular an open source alternative, I want to be able to recommend it and be enthusiastic about it. The problem for me is that the development practices of the people that are working on it are suboptimal at best; they're con…

Probably all describe problems stem from the developers using agent coding; including using TypeScript, since these tools are usually more familiar with Js/Js adjacent web development languages.

I bought mine, a mini PC, for $1400 just six months ago. This bubble will pass.

This shouldn't be related to Wayland. It works perfectly fine on Niri, Hyprland and other Wayland WMs. What problem do you have?

Blank screen, and it's referenced in the official docs as potentially a Wayland issue https://opencode.ai/docs/troubleshooting/#linux-wayland--x11...

I didn't dig further

Seems like there's many github issues about this actually
