Is it better than CC? Can it use my subscription, or is it API-only? I've seen it mentioned, but not many people elaborate on the performance.

It's about the same as CC. You can use subscriptions and API. It works well with basically all the providers as well - no need for hacks over Claude-like endpoints. Most big plugins I've dealt with support both CC and OC at the same time.

I have used it with antigravity subscription and it felt worse than antigravity itself. Notably the planning was way worse.

Are the Opus limits with AG/AI Pro plan still quite good?

I have hit the limits several times already, but it resets every 5 hours.

You can use opencode with your existing subscription by hooking it correctly via "opencode auth login".

This is interesting because Anthropic seems to allow Opencode to do this but no one else. And the lead on opencode won't comment (https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/417#issuecommen...).

I am curious what the logic here is.

Some one apparently figured it out. The first system message has to include

"You are Claude Code, Anthropic's official CLI for Claude."

Very interesting, thanks! Hopefully it'll allow me to switch between CC and Codex easily too.

You can use subscriptions.

I like it but I am not too deep into the whole agentic coding business.

Last I tried, it wasn't. In that vein you can use Qwen code too.
