OpenCode users debate LLM gateway proxies
A Reddit thread in r/LocalLLaMA asks how to route work inside OpenCode across Claude, OpenAI, and local llama.cpp models with an LLM gateway proxy. It is less a product announcement than a practical workflow discussion about matching model cost and capability to specific coding tasks like spec writing, refactors, and local test runs.
// ANALYSIS
The post itself is small, but the workflow problem is real: AI coding users increasingly want one control plane for model routing rather than juggling separate subscriptions and endpoints by hand.
- –OpenCode is a real open-source AI coding agent that supports 75+ providers and local models, making gateway-based routing a natural fit
- –Its provider docs explicitly support custom `baseURL` configuration, which is exactly the hook teams use for proxies and unified gateways
- –The strongest signal here is market demand: developers want policy-based model selection for price, latency, privacy, and task quality in one setup
- –This is more infrastructure plumbing than product news, but it points to a growing need for OpenRouter-, Helicone-, Cloudflare-, or Vercel-style gateways in coding workflows
