I've been using OpenCode for hosted models, but pi-coder works better with the locally hosted models. I'm thinking of trying pi-coder in general because OpenCode doesn't handle retries as well as it could.

Big Pickle is really good, but I run out of my free OpenCode Zen quota pretty quickly. I used Claude a lot at work, and Big Pickle is right up there from what I've seen.

Nemotron Ultra on OpenRouter is nearly as good, but it's down a LOT, and it can sometimes be kinda dumb, and loves to gaslight me. I was arguing with it for a while yesterday because it was absolutely convinced it had fixed my bug and pushed to production, because it wasn't picking up on the issue I was describing, so clearly it was fixed!
