OpenCode: Open Source Terminal AI Coding Agent

OpenCode is a free, open-source AI coding agent that runs in the terminal, as a desktop app, or via an IDE extension, letting developers write and edit code with an LLM of their choice. It connects to 75+ providers through Models.dev — including Claude, GPT, Gemini, local models, and even GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT Plus/Pro accounts — and is built for developers who want a model-agnostic, privacy-first agent that stores no code or context data. Its main differentiator is provider freedom combined with LSP-aware, multi-session parallel agents rather than lock-in to a single vendor's model.
