OpenCode
Open-source AI coding agent for your terminal, IDE, and desktop
- Pricing:
- Free plan
Overview
OpenCode is an open-source AI coding agent that helps developers write code directly from the terminal, IDE, or desktop. It comes with a built-in free model and also supports 75+ LLM providers via Models.dev, including Claude, GPT, and Gemini, so teams can match the model to their workflow and compliance needs.
The agent automatically loads the right language servers for LLMs, giving models accurate project context and language-specific intelligence. Its multi-session architecture lets you run multiple agents in parallel on the same project, while shared session links make collaboration and debugging simple. You can even sign in with GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT Plus/Pro to reuse existing subscriptions.
Built with a privacy-first design, OpenCode does not store your code or context data, making it suitable for sensitive environments. With a thriving open-source community and support for terminal, desktop, and IDE extensions, it is a practical coding companion for modern developers and engineering teams.
