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…

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

Stupid 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 lan…

I'd be interested in this too. I think that's what post-training can achieve but I've never looked into it.

You can scroll down literally two messages in the Github issue you linked: > there isnt any telemetry, the open telemetry thing is if you want to get spans like the ai sdk has spans to track tokens and stuff but we dont send them anywhere and they arent enabled either > most likely these requests are for models.dev (our models api which allows us to update the models list without needing new releases)

You should really look at the 2nd link, its much worse than telemetry..

The maintaining team is incredibly petty though. Tantrums when they weren't allowed to abuse Claude subscriptions and had to use the API instead. They just removed API support entirely.

its hard not to wonder if they are taking their own medicine, but not quite properly

I second that. Have fun on windows - automatic no from me. https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20...

Who cares about Windows?

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).

I have my own harness I wrap Claude CLI in, I wonder if I'm breaking the rules...

If you're not paying full-fat API prices, then probably.

From what I've heard, the metrics used by Anthropic to detect unauthorized clients is pretty easy to sidestep if you look at the existing solutions out there. Better than getting your account banned.

I am more concerned about their, umm, gallant approach to security. Not only that OpenCode is permissive by default in what it is allowed to do, but that it apparently tries to pull its config from the web (provider-based URL) by default [1]. There is also this open GitHub issue [2], which I find quite concerning (worst case, it's an RCE vulnerability). [1] https://opencode.ai/docs/config/#precedence-order [2] https:…

I assign a specific user for it, which doesn't have much access to my files. So what I want is complete autonomy.

I’m a little surprised by your description of constant releases and instability. That matches how I would describe Claude Code, and has been one of the main reasons I tend to use OpenCode more than Claude Code. OpenCode has been much more stable for me in the 6 months or so that I’ve been comparing the two in earnest.

I use Droid specifically because Claude Code breaks too often for me. And then Droid broke too (but rarely), and I just stuck to not upgrading (like I don't upgrade WebStorm. Dev tools are so fragile)
