the terminal coder just hit 167 thousand stars. opencode, an mit cli, routes any model through your own keys with zero markup as of oct 5.
the bring-your-own-key era now has a default.
Context
OpenCode is an MIT-licensed open source coding agent that runs in the terminal, IDE or desktop. The GitHub repository (anomalyco/opencode, created Apr 30, 2025) shows 203,191 stars in one snapshot and 199,378 in an older one, and opencode.ai cites over 195,000 stars.
OpenCode documents support for 75+ LLM providers through the AI SDK and Models.dev, added with a /connect command and your own API keys. Its console BYOK page says a provider account you already pay for connects to a workspace.
The MIT license, the terminal form and the bring-your-own-key model match the sources. The star count is higher than 167 thousand: the repository snapshots read show about 199 to 203 thousand, so 167 thousand is an older figure. The Oct 5 date and the zero markup claim were not seen in the sources read, so unsupported here, not refuted. 'The bring-your-own-key era now has a default' is the author's opinion.

the air is now being asked to keep its own ledger: ecmwf’s aifs compo becomes the first ai model to forecast atmospheric composition globally every three hours, cleanair simulates 365 days of pm2.5 over china in ten seconds, and a unified framework maps six pollutants at one kilometer across the whole country. the air now files its own composition report.

the current is now being asked to draw its own map: china’s langya 2.0 predicts six ocean phenomena including internal waves and mesoscale eddies, a deep net called wenhai resolves eddies globally with air sea flux formulas built in, and scripps infers surface currents from the way temperature patterns deform in satellite images. the ocean now files its own circulation report.

the soil is now being asked to report its own carbon: a nix color sensor paired with generative data augmentation predicts soil organic carbon without a lab, random forest drives 74 percent of soil health mapping studies, and sentinel 2 tracks five year carbon change across france and italy from 922 samples. the dirt now files its own carbon account.
