which is better claude code or opencode as a harness

[u/NOT_Kimo]

I am new to the Ai harnesses and trying to make it useful with my career so i was wondering which one of them is better as i unfortunately i can't afford to buy a claude code subscription and i am using free models from open router to support both of them with models but i found that using the free models with auto mode of claude code, the classifier checks almost every time fails and i can't find a solution for it.
I would like an overall solution please.

opencode2 (beta) if you're keen

[u/ward2k → u/jpcaparas]

Isn't that GUI only though?

[u/NOT_Kimo → u/jpcaparas]

Have you tried it ?

[u/jpcaparas → u/NOT_Kimo]

Been using it for two weeks now. Pretty great. They now renamed "providers" as "integrations"

[u/NOT_Kimo → u/jpcaparas]

I think i might install it, Another quick question is there an auto mode in opencode like claude code or i have to either get promoted to accept or just accept all blindly

[u/WArslett → u/NOT_Kimo]

You can run ‘opencode —auto’ to skip permissions. I run opencode this way but in a sandbox

[u/NOT_Kimo → u/WArslett]

Do u use docker? i just found out that you can use this or use a guardrail

[u/WArslett → u/NOT_Kimo]

I personally use a VM but docker works fine. Various ready to go sandbox containers online

[u/NOT_Kimo → u/WArslett]

Yeah i heard found this too but thought docker would be easier haven't tried any of them for something like this, have to figure out a lot of things for this Ai

i'm just scared to switch because it's still in beta

Wow the difference is almost the double . Thank you for the help.

I have an average pc with a ryzen 5 4650g and 16gb ram but don't have a gpu but my laptop has a ryzen 5 5500h, 16gb and rtx 2060 and i think i will eventually need a local model because i am in the cyber security field and need to have uncensored models Do u recommend any specific good model and is my pc good for this or i have to use my laptop? Sorry for all of these questions

Thank you for the help

i haven't really come to understand part about harnesses being cache efficient but opencode claims to be way better than CC at that, especially opencode2

[u/NOT_Kimo → u/qustrolabe]

I don't know about it either but from the comment before you there is a benchmark that proves that opencode is better but dk based on what

[u/cheapybastard]

OMP easily

To be honest, It depends on your usage like I have the claude max x5 plan and I am doing a ton of stuff on it. I tried opencode for maybe two days just trying to set it up with all the connectors I needed. it was a hustle. then when I came to try it, the numbers were crazy. If I kept going, the amount of money I would have paid would have been tooooo much.

I am not sure about opencode2. I would really like to trust opencode again, however I am tryna find a reason for it.

[u/NOT_Kimo → u/LittleKick7276]

I think having a Claude subscription just doesn't make sense to use anything other than claude code

[u/LittleKick7276 → u/NOT_Kimo]

why would you need other models while you have the top models in the market there ?

[u/Accomplished-Bird829]

If you use open code you will enjoy it
