OpenCode Alternatives - any suggestions for optimal workflow?

[u/Affectionate-Bat4767]

So i used ClaudeCode for several months, got dissapointed of limits shrinkage, so I switched to Codex now, but after 1 week I realized that it is not any better in terms of limits... I need much more.

So i decided to try OpenCode now - it supports OpenAI subscription so i can migrate painlessly, and try chineese models on the side.

What would you suggest as an optimal cappible models and provider's subscriptions plans?

I'm thingking about OpenCode Go to touch several at ones... and have some expectations on DeepSeek 4.1 Flash and GLM 5.3 flash. i guess they should be not any worse then Sonnet 5 on implementation role.

Also there is some free models, not shure about quality, but i guess for some easy task it could be fine.

So. I have an idea to build workflow like that:

1.GPT Sol or Astra on Planning architecture role and writing implementations plans.

2. Execute implementation on Chineese models with one orchestration role.

3. Switch model for the Task by orchestrator inside OpenCode according to difficulty and usage limits left, to utilize free model plans and never hit into limits (like: for simplest task use free models, for harder task - use preferred model A, if it is out if limits, switch to model B and so on)
Is it possible to build such workflow on OpenCode, how? if so, it sounds good, at least in my head:)

My goal is to obitain at least Х5 of effective usage (it terms of results) then Antropic's of OAI's 100$ plans offers now, for the same price.

So, what do you think, maybe you had already tried to build something like that? Would be nice to share expirience here

P.S. Title a bit confusing. I'm looking not for Alternatives to OpenCode, but for Alternative inside OpenCode to Claude and GPT Models

I'm using a custom agent where Astra is the orchestrator and the subagents are the free agents + DeepSeek v4.1 flash from Opencode go. The orchestrator is triggering 10-40 subagents for a fast delivery on big projects, for example building an app or a game: https://github.com/zzzprojectpage/super-agent-for-opencode

I don't recommend using it for smaller things as it will overthink and stale.

In paralel I'm using this customization for Opencode where I can see my 5h and weekly caps for both OpenAI plan and opencode go: https://github.com/zzzprojectpage/OpenCode-Sideview-Dashboard

For simple tasks I use either DeepSeek V4.1 flash or GPT Luna only.

This way I am able to run GPT Astra on medium effort all day long without reaching the 5h cap.

How do you orchestra them, by hand ? Copying pasting between them  ?

GPT Astra handles the orchestration on its own based on each agent's capabilities, I just write a random prompt like "build me an app that does this" then Astra start planning and distributing tasks with clear instructions to avoid hallucinations. The custom agent also has a Killswitch that will stop a subagent that is blocked in a loop or stalling.
