OpenCode (SST) is the leading open-source coding agent (MIT license) - and the provider-neutral counterpart to Claude Code and OpenAI Codex.

Key Features

  • Provider-agnostic: works with 75+ model providers including local models - no vendor subscription required, models are billed separately (or run on your own hardware).
  • Terminal UI as the core, plus desktop app and IDE extension; LSP integration for language-aware edits.
  • Plan/build modes: plan mode is read-only for reviewing the agent's approach before it touches files.
  • Privacy stance: no storage of code or context by the tool vendor.
  • Optional "Zen" offering: curated, benchmarked model access with pay-as-you-go pricing.

Assessment

The strongest option when model neutrality, data sovereignty, privacy or cost control matter - including fully local setups with open-weight models.
