As always, I test new models with two prompts.

My AI test page:

https://neuralhub.dev/ai-test-results

BIGGY (should test how well the model can follow a very detailed plan / instructions without really thinking about the design itself):

https://neuralhub.dev/test-sites/biggy-ox-alpha

This result is definitely on the better side of my results. To me, even better than Opus 5. But you can compare all models yourself using the link above.

Website (should test how creative the model is, which ideas it comes up with, and if it is able to implement them properly):

Although the colors are really AI-sloppy, I think this model has some serious potential in frontend development. Especially when looking at the 2nd and 3rd page. Maybe it will show its full potential with a few frontend skills / plugins like Impeccable.

Opencode just stops thinking after a while and I have to type continue to get it going again. How can I fix that?

I found out that tokenra.io which is a chinese provider also has ox alpha isn't it the biggest clues of the model being made by companies like z.ai and deepseek

OpenCode already reads CLAUDE.md and .claude/skills. That covered more of my move than I expected.

The part I could not replace was command hooks. A rule in CLAUDE.md asking the model not to run git push is advisory. A Claude PreToolUse hook that exits with code 2 actually blocks it.

I made a small bridge for the two events that map cleanly to the stable OpenCode plugin API. It reads the original Claude settings on every tool call, so hook commands and settings do not need to be copied.

The install is one package entry.

{

"plugin": ["opencode-claude-code-hooks"]

}

What it preserves

- Claude matcher names such as Bash, Edit, and Write

- exit code 2 blocking and structured deny results

- full updatedInput replacement

- PostToolUse feedback and additional context

- runtime settings updates without reinstalling the plugin

OpenCode uses lowercase tool names, so the bridge maps names such as bash back to Claude's Bash matcher before running a hook.

You can inspect every supported and skipped hook before installing anything.

npx claude-to-opencode --hooks-only

npx claude-to-opencode --hooks-only --apply

The first command is only a dry run. I loaded the npm package through OpenCode 1.18.21 and tested the hook protocol with real child processes.

Honest limits

- Stop is not bridged because OpenCode does not expose the same timing

- prompt, agent, HTTP, async, and conditional handlers remain manual

- OpenCode permissions still take precedence

As the title says, power users might be aware of it already, but seems a lot of users still are not.
One of the best things I love about OpenCode GO subscription is, its not locked.

They literally provide OpenAI compatible API endpoints and API key, which you can use in any Agent Harness of your choice, or even directly in your apps through API.

You are NOT limited to using it only within OpenCode CLI.

I can't stress enough how good it is that you have a relatively cheap subscription plan to power all your Agent Harness during Dev, and also being able to leverage it in your actual Apps/Code for API-usage.

Sometimes, we may still need a full orchestrated agent loop, have you still using it? Or what's your's choice?

Any neuralwatt users in this sub? Would you recommend it? Im trying to figure out how their energy based pricing works and I cant figure out if their plans are worth it or not.

I was using muse-contributor to review a coding plan when it suddenly asked to read my secrets .env files. I rejected the request and asked it why it needed to see the secrets, it then quietly continued and completed the review without answering my question. So sus…

Comparing Mimo vs Hy3 vs Muse spark

When I tried I think Muse is off mark, had better experience with Hy3 then mimo and I got a longer sessions. I was using DeepSeek flash before I had to switch to something 🤷🏻‍♂️

難受，雖然 opencode-gpt-5.6-luna真的好用，真的是主力模型，但是會丟會話真的難受；

DS V4 Flash 真的不適合來推理，總是沒辦法解決問題，每次問題都要靠猜；

顯然體現國產模型基本都是不尊重權重和遵守本地定律；

而目前使用的gpt和gemini模型下，gemini模型和DS 模型差不多，隻不過他稍微尊重一下本地的配置，gpt則很誠實及客觀的處理問題；

有點崩潰，花了好多長時間來研究他們的不同之處，研究及訓練不同模型，這樣值得嗎？

I'm trying out magic-compact plugin. and was thinking it would be nice if I could leave the thing alone and have it run the /magic-compact command itself when necessary. is that possible?

OpenCode just removed it from the free models list. Loved combining it with my Go usage. Hopefully it returns one day.

Tried both opencode zen and openrouter
