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.

- saagarjha 8mo agoOpenCode would be nicer if they used normal terminal scrolling and not their own thing :(
- DrammBA 8mo agoTerminal 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.
- benreesman 8mo agoIt'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.

- siva7 8mo agoi don't get this. isn't it contradictory to the philosophy of pi to start as slick as possible?
- ak4153 8mo agoYes 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
- subscribed 8mo agoI 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.
- skerit 8mo agoWhat 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
- epiccoleman 8mo agoAre you paying per-token after Anthropic closed the loophole on letting you log in to OpenCode?
- michaelcampbell 8mo agoIf 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 8mo agoYup, 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 8mo agoWhen 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 8mo agoOh, 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.
- dpkirchner 8mo agoClaude 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.
- kardianos 8mo agoI've liked opencode+glm5 quite a bit so far.
