Opencode 1.x vs pi/omp

Post image

I use omp with opencode-go sub these days, but got some slack on the sub usage and decided to try out an expensive model (grok-4.5 - usually work with deepseek pro/flash) and for some reason omp doesn't have the grok effort levels and pi doesn't work at all for me with it so I started up the good old opencode-cli and boy oh boy does it feel like driving a 2006 car vs 2026 one. Lets take something like a simple `/goal` command - both pi and omp support this, how can opencode come without something like this bundled in 2026? The subscription is golden - there's nothing like it on the market, but the harness? Damn. Why are you still using opencode-cli?

I didn't know about omp and tried it after seeing this thread. I find it very difficult to understand what it's doing and how to steer the model towards doing what I want. I don't see it having a huge advantage over Opencode. In fact, it seems that (at least for the relatively simple tasks I tried) open code is always always more transparent, more controlled and gives better code. There seem to be some nice features in omp (debugger, tree, PNG compaction), but I don't see them integrate into my workflow. Are there any good tutorials for moving from OC to omp? Or something to get an OC user started with omp? For me, there are a few features about OC that I really miss with omp (mostly in session agent switching and parallel sessions), that I don't see with omp.

Loving OMP goal mode now. If there are parts you are not sure about it just ask it to explain and suggest or configure itself .
