OpenCode
An open-source terminal coding agent that works with any provider.
NOT REALLY
why this verdict
Keep it — Anthropic has not replaced it
Anthropic's version overlaps, but does not finish the dev tools job, so this one is still worth keeping open.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- First-party terminal agents ship with the model subscription. Anthropic, June 1, 2025 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers not the job editorial call
- Parts of it. The job still needs the tool to get finished.
- Is there a free way to do it? yes
- 1 of 2 listed replacements have a usable free tier: Aider.
- What the call is worth nothing to cancel
- No paid entry tier tracked, so there is no subscription to cancel.

The backstory
OpenCode is the community's answer to Claude Code: same terminal-native shape, but provider-agnostic and free, with a TUI people genuinely like. It survives on portability — the same workflow whether you are on a frontier API, OpenRouter or a local model.
