• Trying Bifrost: An AI Gateway That Simplified My Setup

  I wired it into OpenCode, an open-source coding harness similar to Claude Code and Codex. I'm using an OpenCode Zen key and a Gemini key, and together, these give me access to multiple SOTA models for free, without touching a separate dashboard for each provider. - Source: dev.to / 30 days ago

• Grammar.lol: open-source Grammarly using existing ChatGPT or Grok Subscription

  Https://pi.dev/docs/latest/providers#openai-codex is specific that it "Requires ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscription". https://opencode.ai are also both specific that it's for "Plus/Pro" subscriptions. Is there some link where you saw free tier Codex use in non-official apps is allowed by OpenAI? (I have used the free tier in the official Codex app, but as you said, labs can have different rules for official vs... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• ZCode: Claude Code from the Makers of GLM

  Https://opencode.ai/ OpenCode was the first agent harness I used, and I have always like it. You can configure a wide variety of providers, but it's open source and has a number of core contributors. The other opinionated option is Pi (the Pi agent harness). This is a great lightweight option and also supports a number of providers. You can also use local model servers. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• AI for Less Popular Programming Languages

  OpenCode with GLM 5.2 wrote custom Emacs Lisp to pinpoint within the file where the missing or extra bracket could be. It rewrote the custom code to check various parts of the file. Each of those is a tool use and many, many tokens burned. The next step is to turn those custom scripts written by the AI agent into a tool to speed up the process, or a skill that shows how to use other tools to speed up the process. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• How to Run Reliable Local LLM Agents on an RTX 3090: A Benchmark (5 Models, Priced in Watts)

  I gave GLM-4.5-Air (106B, open weights) 12 coding tasks through opencode on my RTX 3090. It scored 0% — never edited a single file. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• The head chef model of AI collaboration

  Set up your stations. I work in two Ghostty terminals. The left side is for planning and viewing, the right for synchronous agents running through OpenCode. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Testing GLM-5.2 on OpenCode: I'm impressed!

  If you want to try it yourself: grab OpenCode, point it at OpenRouter, select GLM 5.2, and give it a real task instead of a benchmark. The z.ai docs have the rest of the details. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Building an autonomous Slack agent with OpenCode

  OpenCode is the agent harness. It is the brain that edits files, runs commands, calls tools, works in repos, and returns structured output. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• AI Coding at Home Without Going Broke

  I've been using [OpenCode](https://opencode.ai/) - I find it works quite well and has things like web search and build/plan modes built in. I had to modify the settings though (On Linux at `~/.config/opencode/opencode.json`) to stop it from just modifying files without first asking for permission, which I didn't like. I like being able to read the changes my AI agent suggests before the files are modified. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• How much of your codebase should AI write? A trust-zone breakdown

  I use Claude Code mainly, and Opencode for reviews. The model is not what changed my work, though. The loop did. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Spec-Driven Development with OpenSpec

  One reason I liked OpenSpec more than others, such as Kiro and SpecKit, is that OpenSpec is highly portable between coding assistants, codebases and stages of development. I've plugged OpenSpec into all sorts of projects, from infrastructure to Python libraries. I also work on diverse codebases, with a variety of AI friends that OpenSpec supports: OpenCode, Codex and Claude Code. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Agentic: Which App/Harness Is Best for Angular Development?

  Beyond the big names, I would also keep an eye on OpenCode and T3 Code. OpenCode is a solid open-source, terminal-first option if you want a model-agnostic agent and bring your own provider setup. T3 Code is interesting for the opposite reason: it gives you an open-source GUI on top of the agents you may already pay for, like Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, or Cursor. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
