OpenCode: A Command Line AI Coding Alternative to Claude Code

Ryan demonstrates OpenCode, an open-source CLI coding tool that serves as an alternative to Claude Code with support for multiple AI models. The discussion covers OpenCode's architecture (Go backend, TypeScript frontend), its ability to access models through various providers (OpenRouter, GitHub Copilot, Google, OpenAI), and unique features like Language Server Provider (LSP) integration for code validation. Key highlights include session sharing through web interface for team collaboration, enterprise-friendly features like logging and observability, and compatibility with MCP servers. The conversation explores the balance between different AI models for various tasks, with GPT-5 showing reduced hallucinations but slower performance compared to Sonnet 4. OpenCode offers cost-conscious alternatives to expensive models while maintaining familiar CLI workflows for developers who prefer command-line interfaces over GUI-based tools.
