OpenCode – Open source AI coding agent

OpenCode, an open-source AI coding agent, drew 1,274 points and 618 comments on Hacker News. Some commenters said the project ships too fast with too little testing and has a large TypeScript codebase whose terminal UI often uses more than 1 GB of RAM. The main thread centered on security and privacy defaults: commenters said OpenCode is permissive by default, pulls config from the web, and uses a separate small model for session titles that could send prompts to the cloud even when only a local model is configured. Others cited the code to say newer versions fall back to the current model, and the thread also discussed isolating development in containers without internet access.
