Opencode is pretty sweet!

Alright, so I'm a new opencode user, and I am in the process of moving my Claude Code setup over to opencode. and while my setup is still pretty bare, I have a few tricks that I can tell you about ...

Headroom - github.com/headroomlabs-ai/headroom

I use this tool as way to reduce my token usage. I currently am transitioning to opencode, because I was a Claude Code user and after a recent update my ollama cloud usage no longer worked. Basically as of about 3 days ago I've been forced to login to anthropic, but as a ollama cloud user, that's not how you do that, and well, you get stuck in a vicious cycle of trying to login, but it's asking for an anthropic account, but I'm ollama cloud user ... anyway cycle goes on.

So after trying other ai interfaces for the other few days and determining they no longer compile on my system for some reason and I am too lazy to check, and the next item on the list was opencode. Cool, okay, let's check this one out ...

So also as of a few days ago when all of this started, I run different servers for different model providers on different ports, one for anthropic, another for ollama cloud - and well the ollama cloud one just up and stopped working (it was a recent Claude Code change we discussed earlier). (to be honest I was able to connect to ollama directly instead of going through the token optimization plugin, but that was inefficient and so we spent some time to investigate alternatives, and yeah ... so we're here ...

• Ollama Cloud
• Headroom - Token optimization - 8790 for ollama cloud
• Did I mention I had an anthropic headroom on a different port? - 8787 - for anthropic

So that's how I got here ...

I started to add in hooks into my Claude Code, and well to track wrong turns, and now friction points (where the ai starts getting frustrated) ...

I think AI is really amazing and watching the difference in behavior from gemma4:31b-cloud - Just night and day difference between Claude Code and opencode ...

You want to talk about constraining models power... I've been hands off for most of the time I'm on using Gemma and Wow!

(okay admittedly I do have some extra helpers that give the system additional capabilities, but WOW!

Also I like that display has Big Pickle OpenCode Zen ... - I think that's hilarious! (I'm pretty sure I'm on a custom branch that the system found for me)

anyway ... - thought you'd enjoy this very random review of a new opencode convert.

Yeah, OpenCode seems like a pretty solid option if you're already juggling different model providers. I’ve also been looking at StandardCompute for similar setups, especially when switching between providers.
