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.
API support was never removed

#442aider.chat was my entry to agentic coding.
OpenCode followed. Not looking back.

#443i've been using this as my primary harness for llama.cpp models, Claude, and Gemini for a few months now. the LSP integration is great. i also built a plugin to enable a very minimal OpenClaw alternative as a self modifying hook system over IPC as a plugin for OpenCode: https://github.com/khimaros/opencode-evolve -- and here's a deployment ready example making use of it which runs in an Incus container/VM: https://gi…
Very cool! I have been using opencode, as almost everybody else in the lab is using codex. I found the tools thing inside your own repo amazing but somehow I could not get it to reliably get opencode to write its own tools. Seems also a bit scary as there is pretty much not much security by default. I am using it in a NixOS WSL2 VM
You could try something like this

I'm actually moving to containerised isolation. I realised the agents waste too much time trying to correctly install dependencies, not unlike a normal nixos user.

#444OpenCode 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…
Is there a name for these types of "overbearing" and visually busy "TUIs"? It seems like all the other agents have the same aesthetic and it is unlike traditional nurses or plain text interfaces in a bad way IMO. The constant spinners, sidebars and needless margins are a nuisance to me. Especially over an ssh connection in a tmux session it feels wrong.

I wonder how much of this is because the maintainers are using OpenCode to vibe the code for OpenCode.

Re: OpenCode – Open source AI coding agent
#447I found out about OpenCode through the Anthropic feud. I now spend most of my AI time in it, both at work and at home. It turns out to be pretty great for general chat too, with the ability to easily integrate various tools you might need (search being the top one of course).
I have things to criticize about it, their approach to security and pulling in code being my main one, but over all it’s the most complete solution I’ve found.
They have a server/client architecture, a client SDK, a pretty good web UI and use pretty standard technologies.
The extensibility story is good and just seems like the right paradigms mostly, with agents, skills, plugins and providers.
They also ship very fast, both for good and bad, I’ve personally enjoyed the rapid improvements (~2 days from criticizing not being able to disable the default provider in the web ui to being able to).
I think OpenCode has a pretty bright future and so far I think that my issues with it should be pretty fixable. The amount of tasteful choices they’ve made dwarfs the few untasteful ones for me so far.

Yes, you are doing it too with antropic an xAI. I don't get your point. xAI and OpenAI are a little worst? Maybe, still very well fascism.
Quite a lot worse. Both OpenAI and xAI were among the largest donors of Trump's campaign Musk was the largest individual political donor of the 2024 election [1] and Greg Brockman was the largest donor to Trump's "MAGA Inc" super PAC [2] [1] https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/12/06/elon-mu... [2] https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/867947/o...
You’re right, Anthropic is quite a bit worse https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/03/04/anthrop...

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?

That issue points out that it is probably a dependency problem.
The other problem is that they let a package manager block the UI and either swallow hard errors or unable to progress on soft errors. The errors are probably (hopefully) in some logs.
A dev oriented TUI should report unrecoverable errors on screen or at least direct you to the logs. It's not easy to get right, but if you dare to do it isn't rocket science either. They didn't dare.
