The OpenCode guys have really surprised me in the way they've reacted to Anthropic shutting down the side-loaded auth scheme. Very petty and bitter. It's clearly just a business decision from Anthropic and a rational one at that, usage subsidization to keep people on the first party product surface is practically the oldest business move in the book and is completely valid.

This is not my impression, could you explain what you're talking about?

What exactly are you referring to?

>usage subsidization

Is this actually the case though? Because I can't imagine what kind of hardware they're running to have costs per 1M tokens be above like $3.

This seems like pure misinformation. The code lines that are actually changed:

              hint: {
                opencode: "recommended",
                -anthropic: "API key",
                openai: "ChatGPT Plus/Pro or API key",
              }[x.id],
They're removing the ability to use OpenCode via Anthropic API key
