OpenCode is an awesome tool.

Many folks from other tools are only getting exposed to the same functionality they got used to, but it offers much more than other harnesses, especially for remote coding.

You can start a service via `opencode serve`, it can be accessed from anywhere and has great experience on mobile except a few bugs. It's a really good way to work with your agents remotely, goes really well with TailScale.

The WebUI that they have can connect to multiple OpenCode backends at once, so you may use multiple VPS-es for various projects you have and control all of them from a single place.

Lastly, there's a desktop app, but TBH I find it redundant when WebUI has everything needed.

Make no mistakes though, it's not a perfect tool, my gripes with it:

- There are random bugs with loading/restoring state of the session

- Model/Provider selection switch across sessions/projects is often annoying

- I had a bug making Sonnet/Opus unusable from mobile phone because phone's clock was 150ms ahead of laptop's (ID generation)

- Sometimes agent get randomly stuck. It especially sucks for long/nested sessions

- WebUI on laptop just completely forgot all the projects at one day

- `opencode serve` doesn't pick up new skills automatically, it needs to be restarted

I’ve been having a very good experience with OpenCode and Kimi 2.5. It’s fast enough and smart enough that I can stay in a state of flow.

Question: How do we use Agents to Schedule and Orchestrate Farming and Agricultural production, or Manufacturing assembly machines, or Train rail transportation, or mineral and energy deposit discovery and extraction or interplanetary terraforming and mining, or nuclear reactor modulation, or water desalination automation, or plutonium electric fuel cell production with a 24,000 year half-life radiation decay, or interplanetary colonization, or physics equation creation and solving for faster-than-light travel?

I don’t know why people use opencode. I mean it’s better than copilot but it’s pretty terrible in general when there are better options available.

Interested if these TUI agent systems have any unique features. They all seem to be shipping the standard agent swarm/bg agent approach.

Is there any initiative to port it to rust (or preferably golang) and remove weird tracking/telemetry?

I guess golang is better since we need goroutines that will basically wait for i/o and api calls.

Interesting timing — I've been building on Cloudflare Workers with edge-first constraints, and the resource footprint of most AI coding tools is striking by comparison. A TypeScript agent that uses 1GB+ RAM for a TUI feels like the wrong abstraction. The edge computing model forces you to think differently about state, memory, and execution — maybe that's where lighter agentic tools will emerge.

Can anyone clarify how this compares with Aider?

Being able to assign different models to subagents is the feature I've been wanting. I use Claude Code daily and burning the same expensive model on simple file lookups hurts. Any way to set default model routing rules, or is it manual per task?

If you are doing data engineering, there is a specific fork of Open Code with an agentic harness for data tasks: https://github.com/AltimateAI/altimate-code
