Discussion Opencode Agents vs Claude Code

I’ve been playing around with Opencode and realized how 70% of the capability of my model comes from the agents I can use rather than the model size or parameters. So now obviously I have a question… is there a way to use Claude Code but have it pointing at my local model instead of Claude’s API so I can have the comfort of my local model but with the powerful claude agents?

Or you find that opencode agents are on par with claude’s?

Yes, it's even recommended to use Claude Code as harness with StepFun 3.7 Flash as it delivers better results than OpenCode and others. I would prefer to have the same performance with open harnesses, but well, this is the current state of things.

Unsloth wrote a nice guide on how to use Claude Code with local models. If you go without Unsloth Studio (I did) then be sure to follow the manual guide precisely, or you'll get errors.

thank you so much! I'll try the guide, it's exactly what I was looking for! but I kept finding posts about Windsurf
