OpenCode AI
OpenCode is a blazing-fast, open-source terminal-based AI coding agent built in Go that brings Claude Code-style autonomous software engineering to your CLI with full multi-provider LLM freedom.
Yes, if you love Anthropic Claude Code but hate paying $100+/month in locked API burn, OpenCode gives you the exact same terminal TUI experience for $0 using Gemini, Groq, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, or local Ollama.
