TL;DR: OpenCode is an MIT-licensed, provider-agnostic terminal coding agent with 167k GitHub stars built by the team behind terminal.shop. Bring your own API keys and the core agent costs nothing; if you skip that step, the $10/month Go tier runs open-weight models at a flat rate. It's roughly 78% slower than Claude Code on identical tasks per Builder.io's testing — but more thorough, with real LSP diagnostics baked in.
