OpenCode
Open source A.I. coding agent for your terminal, IDE or desktop
OpenCode is an open source A.I. coding agent. It helps you write and run code with any A.I. model. The site's footer credits "Anomaly".
You can use it as a terminal interface, a desktop app or an IDE extension. It comes with a set of free models you can try without creating an account. You can also connect other providers, such as OpenAI or Anthropic, or even local models. If you already pay for Claude Pro/Max, ChatGPT Plus/Pro or GitHub Copilot, the site says you can use those subscriptions too. To get started, the site points you to its intro in the docs.
