Claude Code vs. OpenCode without the hype
SMRTR summary
Claude Code and OpenCode both follow the same core agent loop — read repo, plan, act, iterate — but differ in who controls the harness. Claude Code is Anthropic's polished, vertically integrated experience with deep prompt caching and tight permissions. OpenCode is the open-source alternative supporting 75+ model providers, inspectable subagent sessions, and a fully configurable tool layer for developers who want full control.
