Hello all, been trying to switch away from Claude Code and have been trailing this:
- Harness: Opencode (via Openchamber)
- Subscription: GitHub Copilot (50$)
- API Usage (beyond subscription): Open router
- Free models: Opencode go
Here's the models I've trialed and like:
- Large (alternative to Opus): GPT 5.3 Codex
- Medium (alternative to Sonnet): Minimax 2.7
- Smol: GPT 5.4 mini
these models are not yet on par to their respective Claude alternatives for me, but maybe I need to switch to something else or tune them, what have you been using?
Also looking for nice Opencode plugins, skills, completion providers (alternative to Cursor that I could use with Zen).
Happy to hear about your choices and experience
