OpenCode guides

Choose a tool, install OpenCode, connect a model, then resolve setup errors using these practical guides.

Connections and models

• Model connection checklist: credentials, proxy settings, model IDs and quotas. Also available in Chinese.
• Claude models in OpenCode: native model IDs, API prices and a copyable project configuration.
• Claude Haiku 5.5: API pricing and the 100K prompt tier, official benchmarks, and setup through Anthropic, Zen or GitHub Copilot.
• Claude Haiku 5.5 on Amazon Bedrock: inference profile IDs, regional prices, IAM and OpenCode configuration.
• Claude Fable setup: native provider and gateway checks.
• Third-party API setup: a complete configuration template.

Workflow and costs

• How to code with AI: a bounded task, project rules, permissions and reviewable validation.
• Free AI coding agents: distinguish client licenses, hosted allowances and local inference costs.

Documented comparisons

• AI coding agents compared: nine options and a practical evaluation method.
• OpenCode vs Claude Code: interfaces, provider access, billing and configuration migration.
• OpenCode vs Cursor: editor and terminal workflows, account requirements and cost checks.

Start with a working OpenCode setup

• Install OpenCode and verify it starts in your project.
• Connect a provider and select a model.
• Check Zen model prices and free offers if you choose Zen.
• Add project configuration, rules and permissions as your workflow requires.
• Use the IDE integration for editor context or the TUI guide for terminal interaction.
• Add MCP servers when a task needs external tools, then test their access independently of the model connection.

The connection checklist is available in English and Chinese, and the two Claude Haiku 5.5 guides in all nine site languages. The other original guides listed above are currently in English; the core reference documentation is available in nine languages.
