Main thing is - OpenCode is powered by energized and very responsive team. They do care about all the github issues ppl are posting. This is incredible and rare nowadays to see the response to your issue within hours.

The product itself is just amazing FOSS alternative not only to Claude Code or OpenAI's Codex, but also to all the rest CLI AI agent coding tools:

  • it's easy to use, has nice UI and very verbose
  • it's very customizable - your own agents, tools, template prompts - you name it
  • it has a built-in integration to all the popular OpenAI-compatible model inference providers like OpenRouter, Vertex, Together AI and dozens of other or you can provide it with you own OpenAI-compatible URL and use local models
  • it has (at least right now) a free access to some models to start with. Their "Big Pickle" model is more than enough for most of the casual AI-assisted coding tasks.

With deep respect and love to all the talented folks in the dev team! You guys are driving changes forward.

LLMs has been around for 3 years already and only now we have a product that is really easy and fun to use to make things happen.

Globally, very solid agentic AI coding client, especially for people transititioning into FOSS from proprietary services like Github Copilot. For power users, a central problem is hardcoding. The system prompt in opencode cannot be easily modified. Although the system prompt is fine for vanilla use, for power users with lots of MCP servers offering tools superseding opencode defaults in efficiency and precision, the hard-coded system prompt is a real dragger, as AI models get confused from conflicting system and agent/user prompts on which tool to use.

A side note, the free models shipped with opencode are good for testing opencode out and working on simple personal projects. They are however unfit for production. Those models are heavily quantised, and the performances are way below the published benchmarks. Opencode could have made this clearer, but they don't want to, because currently their revenue depends wholely on opencode Go, a 10$/mo subscription offering model APIs at heavily discounted rates that they are trying to sell to every opencode user. Expectedly, the models are heavily quantised.
