I'm so excited to see a real competitor to Claude Code! Gemini CLI, while decent, does not have a $200/month pricing model and they charge per API access - Codex is the same. I'm trying to get into the https://cloud.cerebras.ai/ to try the $50/month plan but I can't even get in.

Unless I'm misunderstanding something. Cerebras Code is not equivalent to Claude Code or Gemini CLI. It's a strange name for a subscription to access an API endpoint.

You take your Cerebras Code endpoint and configure XYZ CLI tool or IDE plugin to point at it.

Oh so this is not an integrated command line tool like Claude code? I assumed it was something where Cerebras released a decent prompt and command line agent setup. A lot of the value of Claude Code is how polished it is and how much work went into the prompt design.

There is i believe a forked Gemini Code which will work like Claude Code, or so it looks like on Youtube.

Yes it’s called OpenCode and today I was surprised to learn it works with Claude Pro/Max subscriptions:

https://github.com/QwenLM/Qwen3-Coder is the gemini code fork i was referring to i think. Not positive

Wait no, looks like that's https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code

OpenCode is not a fork of the Gemini CLI. It is its own thing.

Ah I see, didn’t know

This doesn’t feel like a competitor. Amp does tho.

I don't hear about Amp often. Have you tried it? How does it compare to Claude Code?

It’s really good. Was discussing it with a friend recently who said he thinks it works out cheaper because it takes less loops to get things right. I’ve been having better success with it so would recommend it over Claude Code for now.
