OpenCode
Overview
Open-source AI coding agent for terminal, desktop, and IDEs—plans changes, edits code, and can run tasks in GitHub via comments.
Best For Professions:
OpenCode is an open-source AI coding agent designed to help developers plan, implement, and refactor code from a terminal-first workflow, with options to use it as a desktop app or IDE extension. It can connect to multiple model providers (or use included free models), apply changes across a codebase, and support common developer flows like asking questions, adding features, making edits, and undoing changes. OpenCode also integrates with GitHub workflows: you can mention a command in issues or pull requests to have it execute tasks inside a GitHub Actions runner.
Product overview
Capabilities, pricing and fit
OpenCode is an open-source coding agent and agent harness available in the terminal, desktop apps, IDEs, and GitHub Actions. It can inspect and edit repositories, run commands, delegate searches, use configurable tools, and connect to more than 75 hosted or local model providers.
Information as of August 18, 2026
What it can do
- Configurable coding agents
Built-in build and plan agents can be extended with custom primary agents and subagents, distinct prompts, models, tool access, and permission policies.[2]
- Broad model-provider support
OpenCode supports more than 75 providers, custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints, and local models, while optional Zen supplies a curated pay-as-you-go model set.[3], [5]
- GitHub issue and pull-request automation
GitHub Actions can trigger OpenCode from issue or review comments, schedules, pull requests, or manual workflows to investigate, implement changes, review code, and open pull requests.[4]
Where it fits best
Pricing and availability
The MIT-licensed OpenCode client is free. Users pay their chosen model provider or run local models. Optional OpenCode Zen starts by adding a $20 pay-as-you-go balance plus card processing and charges provider prices per request with no markup.[1], [5]
Platforms: Terminal UI, macOS desktop, Windows desktop, Linux desktop, IDE extension, GitHub Actions[1], [3], [4]
Access: Local binary, Docker container, GitHub-hosted or self-hosted Actions runner, Local or hosted model endpoints[1], [3], [4]
What users repeatedly mention
Two independent hands-on reviews consistently highlight model-provider choice, open-source control, and native plan-versus-build modes. They also emphasize that results and cost depend on the selected model and that terminal-first operation remains a deliberate tradeoff.[6], [7]
Important considerations
- The open-source client does not include model inference: users must configure provider credentials, a subscription integration, OpenCode Zen or Go, or a capable local model.[1], [3], [5]
- Build agents can edit files and run shell commands, so repository, external-directory, web, and tool permissions must be configured to match the desired safety boundary.[2]
- Independent reviews praise provider choice and the plan/build split but also describe model-dependent quality and a terminal-centered workflow that will not suit every developer.[6], [7]
