Claude Code subscription is still usable, but requires plugin like https://github.com/griffinmartin/opencode-claude-auth
Or just don't abuse the subscription and use the API instead.

I'm still trying to figure out how "open" it really is; There are reports that it phones home a lot[0], and there is even a fork that claims to remove this behavior[1]: [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rv690j/opencod... [1] https://github.com/standardnguyen/rolandcode
so how is telemetry not open? If you don't like telemetry for dogmatic reasons then don't use it. Find the alternative magical product whose dev team is able to improve the software blindfolded
Or by testing it themselves.
Re: OpenCode – Open source AI coding agent
#213OpenCode 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…
OpenCode's creator acknowledged that the ease of shipping has let them ship prototype features that probably weren't worth shipping and that they need to invest more time cleaning up and fixing things. https://x.com/thdxr/status/2031377117007454421
Uff. This is exactly what Casey Muratori and his friend was talking about in of their more recent podcast. Features that would never get implemented because of time constraints now do thanks to LLMs and now they have a huge codebase to maintain

#214The 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
More what to come?

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 https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/14336 https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/14636 https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/14335
I've run into that issue while developing https://soloterm.com.
If you respond twice to their theme query probes, the whole thing bricks. Or if you're slightly out of order. It's very delicate.

the fact that somebody was able to fork it and remove behaviour they didn't want suggests that it is very open that #12446 PR hasn't even been resolved to won't merge and last change was a week ago (in a repo with 1.8k+ open PRs)
I think there’s a conflict between “open” as in “open source”, and “open” as in “open about the practice” paired with the fact we usually don’t review software’s source scrupulously enough to spot unwanted behaviors”.
Must be a karmic response from “Free” /s

What is a better option?
I've been building VT Code (https://github.com/vinhnx/vtcode), a Rust-based semantic coding agent. Just landed Codex OAuth with PKCE exchange, credentials go into the system keyring.
I build VT Code with Tree-sitter for semantic understanding and OS-native sandboxing. It's still early but I confident it usable. I hope you'll give it a try.

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.

Re: OpenCode – Open source AI coding agent
#220Stupid question, but are there models worth using that specialize in a particular programming language? For instance, I'd love to be able to run a local model on my GPU that is specific to C/C++ or Python. If such a thing exists, is it worth it vs one of the cloud-based frontier models?
I'm guessing that a model which only covers a single language might be more compact and efficient vs a model trained across many languages and non-programming data.
