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).

Was it not obvious what the OP meant by blacklisted?

Blacklisted usually means something is banned. OpenCode is not banned from using Anthropic's API.

I dont understand this, what is the difference, technically!

about 30 times more cost

I don't use it for coding but as an agent backend. Maybe opencode was thought for coding mainly, but for me, it's incredibly good as an agent, especially when paired with skills, a fastapi server, and opencode go(minimax) is just so much intelligence at an incredibly cheap price. Plus, you can talk to it via channels if you use a claw.

If I wanted to switch from Claude Code to this - what openai model is comparable to opus 4.6? And is it the same speed or slower/faster? Thank you!

If you want faster, anything running on a Cerebras machine will do. Never tried it for much coding though.

Outside of their (hard to buy) GLM 4.7 coding plans, it's also extremely expensive.

Yeah, support the company that promised to help your government illegally mass surveil and mass kill people, because they support a use case slightly better than the non-mass-murdering option.

Both of them promised to help their government illegally mass surveil and mass kill people. One of them just didn't want it done to US citizens . I'm not a US citizen, so both companies are the same, as far as I'm concerned.

You are absolutely correct that both are evil ... as are most corporations.

Still, I feel like "will commit illegal mass murder against their own citizens" is a significant enough degree more evil. I think lots of corporations will help their government murder citizens of other countries, but very few would go so far as to agree to murder their own (fellow) citizens ... just to get a juicy contract.

Yep. That's what I do. Just API keys and you can switch from Opus to GPT especially this week when Opus has been kind of wonky.

I pay $100/mo to Anthropic. Yesterday I coded one small feature via an API key by accident and it cost $6. At this rate, it will cost me $1000/mo to develop with Opus. I might as well code by hand, or switch to the $20 Codex plan, which will probably be more than enough. I'd rather switch to OpenAI than give up my favorite harness.

Yeah I had a similar experience one time. Which is why I laugh when people suggest Anthropic is profitable. Sure, maybe if everyone does API pricing. Which they won’t because it’s so damn expensive. Another way to think about it is API pricing is a glimpse into the future when everyone is dependent on these services and the subscription model price increases start.
