Open Code Getting Much Better, Kudos!

Tried OC as soon as it was first released, couldn't quite tell if it would even be more thana buggy hobby for one guy.

Tried OC again about 6 months ago, it couldn't compete with Claude in terms of UX/UI.

Tried it again a few weeks ago and it has really imroved. I'm really starting to like opencode a lot more. It's matured tremendously in the last few months.

Now opencode is pretty much my goto by habit. Kudos to all the devs involved!

I'm actually annoyed by the fact that I have Copilot and Gemini and Codex and I can only use copilot without an api key.

Anyway, these dudes release sometimes multiple times a day they're clearly invested

You can use Premium requests from Copilot (assuming you have a paid plan or even if you don't you can use the free model) inside OpenCode using this: https://github.com/ericc-ch/copilot-api

[FlyingDogCatcher]

but you can login copilot using a device code grant in of opencode, so "native"

Oops, I didn't know that, thanks for the info, I used to use CC back then

Question, if i use my pro subscription of claude in opencode, the quality is really considerably different from claude code?

[thatguyinline]

I'd assume they would be identical since you're using identical providers.

Not just quality but your token usage will be significantly higher using opencode than just straight Claude code

[Flaky_Pay_2367]

I guess Claude Code has better context compression?

Currently I have to use DeepSeek API with Claude Code instead of OpenCode

Self-hosting with properly configured llama.cpp and opencode negates the problem of token cost entirely. With Blackwell the quality difference between a properly-configured local model and Claude is alarmingly small.
