Same OpenCode team who ignore bug reports, don't respond on their discord, don't have modern CI/CD test suites (often shipping regressions), don't have bots to triage bug reports or PRs, and have what might be the worst open model subscription service available today.

OpenCode users: switching to Pi takes about 5 minutes, and customizing it to work just like OpenCode takes another 30 minutes. Better design, better devs, better community.

While I just switched from OpenCode to Pi, I'm still unclear on which is better in terms of handling github issues/pull-requests. I do give OC credit here, especially after the last week.

Here's the Pi issue for a security feature request, derived from an opencode v2 security regression I was able to work through with the OC team. This issue links to the OpenCode ones too.

The Pi dev does not seem to grasp the issue after several back and forths.

I do really like their CONTRIBUTING.md

What open model subscription services are there that’s better. Genuinely interested in knowing.

I thought $80 of deepseek usage for $10 was a pretty good deal, but I’d be delighted to hear of better ones.

  • OpenCode Go is the best deal in the market right now imo. Their quotas are so generous I often assume they are burning money, but I think they are largely thriving off of the subscription revenues and making it work, or their vendors are subsidizing things.

  • ollama cloud, syntetic - they both has much more care about quality of model hosting

> bug reports

> CI/CD test suites

None of these are considered important. Opencode is a vibecoded vibecoding tool, so 1) software quality is fundamentally unachievable and if they will pay attention to bugreports, they will simple drawn in them; 2) it's now a trend to delete tests in the name of AI ideology.

There's an actual team? I had the same experience and figured it was basically just one guy. Their issue backlog does seem a total shambles though.
