## What it is

OpenCode is an AI coding agent built by [Anomaly](https://github.com/anomalyco) that runs in your terminal, IDE, or as a desktop app. Unlike proprietary alternatives, it connects to over 75 LLM providers through [Models.dev](https://models.dev) — including Claude, GPT, Gemini, and locally-hosted models — so you're never locked into a single vendor. With 157k+ GitHub stars and 6.5 million monthly users, it has become one of the most widely adopted open-source coding agents in the ecosystem.

The architecture is explicitly privacy-first: OpenCode doesn't store your code or context data, making it viable in environments where proprietary tools are ruled out. It supports Language Server Protocol (LSP) integration for language-aware completions, parallel multi-session runs for concurrent agents on the same project, and shareable session links for debugging and review. The companion service Zen provides a curated set of models benchmarked specifically for coding agent use.

<Tip>
  **Use this when** you want the flexibility to swap models, need to run in a privacy-sensitive codebase, or want an open-source alternative to GitHub Copilot or Cursor with full control over the underlying LLM.
