I read the repos so you don't have to.
Issue #5 | March 25, 2026
TL;DR
- OpenCode hit 120K GitHub stars and 5M monthly devs, making it the largest open-source coding agent ever shipped. It works with 75+ LLM providers and your existing Copilot or ChatGPT Plus subscription.
- Claude Code now accepts push events mid-session via Channels. CI results, webhooks, and chat messages flow into running agents. Coding agents just went from request-response to event-driven.
- Hindsight, a new agent memory system, hit SOTA on LongMemEval by making agents learn from experience, not just recall conversations. Two lines of code to integrate. Docker one-liner to deploy.
The Big One
OpenCode: 120K Stars and the End of the Closed Coding Agent
The numbers are hard to argue with. OpenCode crossed 120,000 GitHub stars this week, with 5 million monthly active developers and 800 contributors pushing 10,000+ commits. The Hacker News thread pulled 1,237 points and 614 comments. For context, that puts it ahead of VS Code's first-year trajectory.
OpenCode is an open-source coding agent that runs in your terminal, on your desktop, or inside your IDE. It supports 75+ LLM providers out of the box. You can log in with your existing GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT Plus subscription. No new API key required.
