Why 157,000 developers are hedging against Anthropic with OpenCode

Anthropic expanded Claude Code with higher usage limits, stronger managed-agent features, and a major infrastructure push.

At the same time, OpenCode rose to the top of GitHub’s open-source coding harnesses after Anthropic restricted third-party access to Claude Pro and Max OAuth.

The change pushed some developers toward API billing or other model providers instead of subscription-based access.

The split highlights Anthropic’s effort to centralize coding workflows inside its own platform and the growing demand for open, portable agent tools.
