What is OpenCode?
OpenCode is an open source AI coding agent designed to assist developers with writing code directly in their development environment. The tool operates as a terminal interface, desktop application, or IDE extension, providing flexible integration options for various workflows. It supports connection to multiple AI models from different providers, including Claude, GPT, Gemini, and over 75 LLM providers through Models.dev, while also offering built-in free models for immediate use.
The platform emphasizes privacy by not storing any code or context data, making it suitable for sensitive environments. OpenCode includes features such as LSP (Language Server Protocol) enablement for automatic loading of appropriate language support, multi-session capabilities for running parallel agents on the same project, and shareable session links for collaboration or debugging. With over 120,000 GitHub stars and 5 million monthly developers, it is a widely trusted solution in the coding community.
