OpenCode

What it does

OpenCode is an open source AI coding agent that takes your code and instructions as input and works on code in a terminal, desktop app, web interface, or IDE extension. It can run multiple agents in parallel on the same project and connects to many language models, including free built-in models, OpenAI, Anthropic, local models, and existing ChatGPT Plus/Pro or GitHub Copilot subscriptions.

People use OpenCode to write and run code with AI assistance from the command line or a desktop window. Its distinct features are a choice of interfaces, broad model support through Models.dev covering 75+ providers, and a privacy-focused design in which OpenCode does not store your code or context data. The source code is public on GitHub under the MIT License, so anyone can inspect, modify, or contribute to it.

OpenCode suits developers who want an open source coding agent and control over which model they use. It can be installed with curl, npm, Homebrew, and other package managers, and Docker images are provided. Windows package managers are not supported, free models come with stated limits, and connecting other paid providers incurs their own costs.
