OpenCode is miserable from a security perspective. Well clarification the plans they offer where they bundled in free models that train on your use. You are then left to use an OpenRouter which I find pretty flaky for at least the leading Chinese models.

I just use my ChatGPT subscription with it. Not sure what you mean about security.

  “Well clarification the plans they offer where they bundled in free models that train on your use.” Just what I said. They offer paid plans through their tool. Said paid plans are kind of a dark pattern where it’s not immediately obvious the models are training on your data. The harness is fine but that kind of business turns me off and I am usually pretty neutral about those sorts of things.

I doubt most people use OpenCode coding plans, nor do they use OpenRouter. I use subscription plans from ChatGPT, z.ai, MiniMax & Xiaomi with OpenCode. It handles authentication with all of them seamlessly. I switch between models based on task/subtask and based on usage limits. You can get the most value out of a lot of these plans at their second-tier and they are often switching in value relative to each other, so it makes sense to arbitrage them like this. Most of that switching is automated (oh-my-openagent - defaults sub-tasks to different roles, so for example I use MiniMax for explorer tasks and GPT 5.5 for deep design & review tasks, and GLM 5.2 for general orchestrator & most coding). If I hit usage limits it switches to a backup for that task. I'm not sure Cursor authenticates with all the subscription coding plans from all those companies - but if it does it can't be doing it any better. I run it in a sandbox and its not phoning home.

  Which is cool but I think it’s an important callout because it’s shady how they do it in my opinion.
