OpenCode. Is an open-source AI coding agent (terminal TUI, desktop app, and IDE extension) that connects to 75+ LLM providers (Claude, GPT, Gemini, local models, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT accounts) with LSP-aware context and multi-session parallelism.

Summary

Garden stance: We trial OpenCode for our estate.

When to use: Evaluate on a project when the capability clearly fits the requirement.

When to skip: When a simpler alternative already covers the need.

Details

Install: curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash, npm install -g opencode-ai, Homebrew (anomalyco/tap/opencode), Docker image ghcr.io/anomalyco/opencode.
Auth: Provider API keys via /connect, OpenCode Zen billing, or reuse ChatGPT Plus / GitHub Copilot logins where supported.
Models: Any provider in the Models.dev directory; Zen subset for validated coding-agent performance.
Surfaces: terminal (primary), desktop beta (macOS/Windows/Linux), IDE extension.
Fit: Tool / AI Agent, open, multi-model coding agent.
Contrast: Cursor + cursor-agent for default IDE workflow; vendor CLIs when you stay in one ecosystem.
