OpenCode is an AI coding agent that lives in your terminal, MIT-licensed, built by the team formerly known as SST. v1.17.10 shipped June 24. The pitch is simple: 178K GitHub stars, 7.5M monthly developers, and one config file that connects to 75+ model providers. It’s the exit door for anyone who doesn’t want to be locked into a single closed coding agent.
Plan first, then build
Two built-in agents, Tab to switch. Plan mode is read-only — the agent tells you which files it would touch and why, no writes, no commands. Build mode is full access: edits files, runs tests, installs packages. The trick most teams use is start in plan, read the plan, then flip to build. That 30-second check stops the agent from confidently solving the wrong problem.
It’s a CLI you can wire in
This isn’t a closed app. It’s an open CLI with desktop and IDE clients on top. Point it at Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, or a local Ollama model, plug it into your dev flow, and swap providers mid-session when one gets cheaper or smarter.
