Why wouldn't you use something open source like OpenCode, which already support DSv4 and has more features than CC?
- ttoinou 6mo agoMore features than CC ? Also opencode tracks you by default. Its not safe. Every first prompt you send is routed through their servers, logged and they can use your data however they want
- esafak 6mo agoI could not find any evidence of prompt logging. The code is open; can you point me to it?
- ttoinou 6mo agoWhen you send your first message and opencode generates a title automatically, it uses the free opencode/gpt-5-nano model from the OpenCode Zen provider at https://opencode.ai/zen/v1 https://opencode.ai/zen/v1 Ask AI to look at the code for you We don't have any proof they're not logging everything, by default we should assume they are
- esafak 6mo agoI did read the code. OpenCode uses your global `small_model` (https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/blob/dev/packages/opencode/src/config/config.ts#L146-L148 https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/blob/dev/packages/open...) or title agent (https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/blob/51e310c9/packages/web/src/content/docs/agents.mdx?plain=1#L95-L99 https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/blob/51e310c9/packages...) OpenCode Zen is their own service provider; they see your prompt the same way OpenAI and Anthropic do. Somebody has to see your code, unless you host your models yourself.
- ttoinou 6mo agoSo, by default, they read our prompts. What else is hiding ?

- sedawkgrep 6mo agoI thought this was debunked awhile ago. ?
- dlx 6mo agoAs someone who does use other models with CC, I am curious about opencode, what extra features does it have that you find essential?
- esafak 6mo agoI like being able to add a wide array of models, define perms for agents and subagents, turn MCPs on and off at will, and be able to fix bugs I find in it.
- CharlesW 6mo agoCoding harnesses make a big difference, and OpenCode is notably less effective than Claude Code (1) in my experience, (2) with the models I've tried it on. (I've not yet tried it with DSv4.)
- DeathArrow 6mo agoIf using something open source, I'd say Forge Code has better results than Open Code, at least according to Terminal Bench.
