OpenCode hits 150k GitHub stars

OpenCode’s GitHub repository showed 161,000 stars on May 17, according to the project page, putting the open-source coding agent well past the 150,000-star mark cited in recent social posts. The repository, published under anomalyco/opencode, also listed 18,900 forks and 13,017 commits. (opencode.ai) OpenCode’s website describes the software as an open-source AI coding agent that runs in the terminal, IDE or desktop app. The company says the project has more than 900 contributors and is used by 7.5 million developers every month. (opencode.ai) The project has drawn attention as developers look for tools that are not tied to a single model vendor. OpenCode’s provider documentation says it supports “75+” LLM providers through Models.dev and can run local models, including through setups such as Ollama. (github.com) ### How big is OpenCode now? GitHub showed 161,000 stars for anomalyco/opencode when checked on May 17. That is above the 150,000-star threshold referenced in the story prompt and higher than the roughly 157,000 figure cited by The New Stack on May 10. (opencode.ai) Anthropic’s claude-code repository showed 123,000 stars when checked through GitHub search results, giving OpenCode a larger public star count on GitHub at the time of reporting. (opencode.ai) ### What does OpenCode actually offer developers? OpenCode’s homepage says the tool can be used as a terminal interface, desktop app and IDE extension. The same page says users can connect “any model from any provider,” including Claude, GPT and Gemini. (github.com) The provider documentation says OpenCode stores credentials locally and lets users configure providers in an `opencode.json` file. The docs also say OpenCode uses the AI SDK and Models.dev to support more than 75 providers. (github.com) LSP documentation published by OpenCode says the software integrates with Language Server Protocol servers and uses diagnostics to provide feedback to the model. That is the basis for claims that the tool can use editor and language-server signals to correct coding errors during a run. (opencode.ai) ### Why did model choice become central to the pitch? The New Stack reported that Anthropic deployed server-side checks on January 9, 2026, blocking third-party tools from authenticating to Claude Pro and Max subscriptions via OAuth. (opencode.ai) The article said OpenCode, Cline and RooCode were among the affected tools. The same report said Anthropic later clarified in March that subscription OAuth tokens were not intended for use in third-party products. (opencode.ai) Reuters could not independently verify Anthropic’s internal decision-making, but the timeline helps explain why model-agnostic positioning became a larger part of OpenCode’s appeal after January. ### What do the project’s own docs say about cost? OpenCode’s pricing page for OpenCode Go says the subscription costs $5 for the first month and then $10 per month. (thenewstack.io) The company says the plan provides access to open-source coding models with usage limits measured in requests per five-hour window. OpenCode’s Zen documentation says Zen is a separate pay-as-you-go offering with per-token pricing and user-set monthly spend limits. The company’s site does not make the “about $6 a day for heavy usage” claim in the materials reviewed for this article, so that figure could not be independently confirmed from primary sources. (thenewstack.io) ### Where can developers verify the next steps? OpenCode’s docs page, provider guide and LSP documentation were all updated recently and remain the primary source for installation, model setup and editor integration details. (opencode.ai) The company’s site also links to a changelog, Discord and GitHub from its homepage. (opencode.ai 1) (opencode.ai 2)
