They keep adding features without maintaining the core. I stopped using it when they started selling plans. The main reason for Opencode was to use multiple models but it turns out context sharing across models is PIA and impractical right now. I went back to using Claude Code and Codex side by side.

Having said that, there is definitely a need for open platform to utilize multiple vendors and models. I just don’t think the big three (Anthropic, OAI and Google) will cede that control over with so much money on the line.

As someone who uses the two big C's, I can recommend ampcode[0] and Crush[1]+z.ai GLM as an addition.

Amp can do small utility scripts and changes for free (especially if you enable the ads) and Crush+GLM is pretty good at following plans done by Claude or Codex

Okay I am genuinely curious by what you mean ads. This is the first time I heard of the concept of ads in something like these code agents

An Ad based model although sucks, still feels like a decent model of income than companies which provide inference at loss making, interesting.

I hate the Ad models but I am pretty sure that most code gets trained in AI anyway and the code we generate would probably not be valuable metric (usually) to the ad company.

Interesting, what are your thoughts about it? Thanks for sharing this. Is the project profitable because I assume not, not sure how much advertisements costs would be there.
