UPDATE:

After reading PUSH_AX's valid comment: ``` This is like saying contractor (A) asked for $33,000 to undertake the work and contractor (B) asked for $7,000 Are we measuring and caring about the right thing? ``` We will update the post to include:

1) A more in-depth task. 2) Qualitative results comparison. 3) As soon as possible, a reproduction of the inputs and outputs.

This isn't accurate since the main reason I'm using Claude Code instead of these other interesting sounding harnesses is the subscription service with highly discounted token usage. With OpenCode, you're paying the full price.

Therefore, you should include the actual costs associated with the task in API token usage or subscription level. Is there a reasonable way to do apples to apples cost comparison?

We are using Claude Max with OpenCode. See the post for details.

If cost were the only factor of course you'd use B, but presumably you also care about quality quite a bit.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to this!

I wonder if a lot of the 33k is context, like from recent conversations.

We've updated the post now!

Thank you!
