For coding assistance, I have tried OpenCode with several large open models through OpenRouter. All were fairly bad compared to Claude Opus.
Could you provide some hints on how I should be holding these open models so that I might get more value out of them?
I agree with the common trope that open models lag behind by about a year, but something magical happened just around a year ago when the state of the art models became extremely useful. By this reasoning we're about to see open models perform well, but I'm afraid there is more to it than just waiting for another revolution around the sun.
Note, my application is coding assistance. Open models can be great for other purposes.
