Well, there is OpenCode [1] as an alternative, among many others. I have found OpenCode being the closest to Claude Code experience, and I find it quite good. Having said that I still prefer Claude Code for the moment.

What does Claude-Code do different that you still prefer it? I'm so in love with OpenCode, I just can't go back. It's such a nicer way of working. I even love the more advanced TUI

[dpkirchner]

Claude Code's handling of multiple choice questions is awfully nice (it uses an interactive interface to let you use arrows to select answers, and supports multiple answers). I haven't seen opencode do that yet, although I don't know if that's just a model integration issue -- I've only tried with GLM 4.7, GPT 5.1 Codex Mini, and GPT 5.2 Codex.

[mschulze]

Opencode also has that feature, I've seen it multiple times in the last days (mostly using Opus 4.5/4.6/Gemini 3)

[skerit]

Indeed, Opencode has it too. They've been improving it the past few weeks to look more like the one in Claude-Code. I disable it all the time though, I find it such a pain (in both Claude-Code and OpenCode)

[dpkirchner]

Interesting. I wonder if it's just a matter of prompting properly or if GPT/GLM just doesn't have that training.

[epiccoleman]

Are you paying per-token after Anthropic closed the loophole on letting you log in to OpenCode?

[michaelcampbell]

If one has a github sub, you can use OpenCode -> github -> \A models. It's not 100% (the context window I think is smaller, and they can be behind on the model version updates), but it's another way to get to \A models and not use CC.

[siva7]

Yup, the context window there is only half of what you get in CC so only a weak alternative. They burned bridges with the dev community by their decision to block any other clients

[skerit]

When did they successfully close the loophole? I know they tried a few times, but even the last attempt from a week or two ago was circumvented rather easily.

[epiccoleman]

Oh, sounds like I'm just out of the loop then. I had an Opencode install that I was planning to check out, and then like, the next day there was the announcement from a week or two ago, so I just kinda shrugged and forgot about it.

[saagarjha]

OpenCode would be nicer if they used normal terminal scrolling and not their own thing :(

[DrammBA]

Terminal scrolling opens a big can of worms for them, I doubt they'll ever implement it. The best you can do is enable scrollbars in opencode so you can quickly jump places.

[thdxr]

we are going to implement this

[saagarjha]

lmao

[benreesman]

It's a client/server architecture with an Open API spec at the boundary. You can tear off either side, put a proxy in the middle, whatever. Few hundred lines of diff weaponizes it.

[subscribed]

I haven't tried it myself but there was a plenty of people in the other thread complaining that even on the Max subscription they couldn't use OpenCode.

[siva7]

i don't get this. isn't it contradictory to the philosophy of pi to start as slick as possible?

[ak4153]

Yes it is. However, I played with it a bit and it feels good. You can modify pretty much anything.

I have some cheap gpt 5 mini tokens that I can burn on sub agents. Each sub agent is configurable down to which llm to use

[kardianos]

I've liked opencode+glm5 quite a bit so far.
