Everyone's RENTING Their AI Coding Agent — This FREE 180,000-Star One Lets You OWN It (OpenCode)
OpenCode is the free, open-source AI coding agent at ~180,000 GitHub stars (MIT, built by Anomaly — formerly SST). This is the honest "own vs rent" case for it vs Claude Code & Cursor: you point it at ANY model — Claude, GPT, Gemini, or one running locally on your own machine — and it's yours to keep. No subscription. No vendor picking your model. No lock-in.
⏩ Tip: watch at 1.25–1.5× speed.

What's inside this video:
• Rent vs Own — what you actually agreed to with Cursor / Claude Code
• What OpenCode is — terminal-first, MIT, model-agnostic, LSP-in-the-loop, /init → AGENTS.md
• The momentum (SST → Anomaly rebrand; founders say 8M users / $25M ARR — their numbers, not independently audited)
• The proof: one agent, swap Claude → a cheap open model → a LOCAL model — the dial Cursor & Claude Code can't give you
• The honest part: "free" ≠ free tokens · it's not always faster (one benchmark) · it moves fast and breaks things · the now-patched security issue CVE-2026-22812 (update past v1.0.216)
• Who it's actually for — and when Cursor or Claude Code is the better pick
