What is OpenCode?
OpenCode provides a programming workspace that can connect different models, catering to development tasks such as code understanding, writing, and execution. The official documentation highlights entry points like the terminal, desktop, and editor, as well as the ability to launch multiple sessions within the same project.
Users can utilize the included partially free models, connect to other model providers or local models, and also use their existing subscriptions in accordance with official support. Open-source software, model services, and subscriptions are not the same benefit; connecting to external providers may incur additional fees.
The handling of code, context, and prompts depends on the selected model and service. Even if a tool can run locally, it should not make blanket claims that all data is entirely offline or that all free models do not store content; users should verify the actual provider’s and account’s data policies.

Being open-source and free does not mean unlimited use of all models. Source: https://opencode.ai/
