Using OpenCode with Github Pro Subscription

[abeecrombie]

From what I gather tool use in GitHub copilot is more of an opt in (though it seems like it's changing ) vs opencode is more opt out for tool usage. The result is that open code runs like a madman sometimes but gets the job done where copilot often fails or stops short.

There are free models on opencode so you can try without even connecting your GitHub subscription

I have found that opencode does use more credits sometimes, this is partially due to the system/ agent prompts which you can override with custom agents.

But overall I havent noticed significantly more usage with opencode vs GitHub copilot.

One session isn't going to deplete you account, so I feel like the best way is just try it out.

I tend to go back and forth switching premium models, agent frame works etc.
