OpenCode
OpenCode is an open source coding agent that helps developers write code across terminals, IDEs, and desktop environments using 75+ model providers.
OpenCode is an open source AI coding agent designed to help developers write code directly in their terminal, IDE, or desktop app. It connects to over 75 LLM providers via Models.dev, allowing users to run free models, local models, or models from Claude, GPT, and Gemini. Developers can also connect existing GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT Plus/Pro accounts. The system automatically loads appropriate LSPs for the language model and supports running multiple agent sessions in parallel on a single project. Built with a privacy-first approach, OpenCode does not store user code or context data.
