Please stop spreading this nonsense. Anthropic is not blocking Opencode. You can use all their models within Opencode using API. Anthropic simply let Dax and team use unlimited plans for the past year or so. I don’t even know if it was official. I find this a bit comical and immature. You want to use the models, just pay for it. Why are people trying to nickel and dime on tools that they use day in day out?

#22Meh, if you want access to the API then pay for the API. It's as simple as that.

It’s because their models burn tokens like crazy. API use is way too expensive
Edit: or should I say, the subscription is artificially cheap

#24It’ll be interesting to see how far they take this cat and mouse game. Will “model attestation” become a new mechanism for enforcing tight coupling between client and inference endpoint? It could get weird, with secret shibboleths inserted into model weights…
I would be so furious if fucking LLM agents are what finally give browser attestation a foothold on our hardware.

Well, they are paying. Just not for the product Anthropic wants to sell. Really at root this is a marketing failure. They really, really want to push Claude CLI as a loss leader, and are having to engage in this disaster of a anti-PR campaign to plug all the leaks from people sneaking around.
The root cause is and remains their pricing: the delta between their token billing and their flat fee is just screaming to be exploited by a gray market.

#26Given that Claude Code is a scriptable CLI tool with an SDK, why can't OpenCode just call Claude instead of reusing its auth tokens?
Re: Anthropic Explicitly Blocking OpenCode
#27While Anthropic can choose whatever tool uses their api or subscription but I never fully understood what they gain from having the subscription explicitly only work for claude code. Is the issue that it disincentivizes the use of their API?

This is what ACP and https://github.com/zed-industries/claude-code-acp enables. ACP controls agents - there is native support in Copilot CLI and Gemini and adapters for claude code and codex.

Perhaps concentrated use of Claude Code increases their perceived market value.
It also perhaps tries to preserve some moat around their product/service.

And telemetry and tooling reports and usage by cloud code signs PR on GitHub and things like that.
