OpenCode clocks >280 tps, <0.8s TTFT
OpenCode, an open-source terminal-based AI coding agent, showcases high-speed performance running open-weights models at over 280 tokens per second with sub-0.8 second latency. The demonstration highlights the viability of combining fast inference backends with open-source development harnesses.
Running open-weights models at over 280 TPS inside OpenCode proves that local and open-source AI workflows can match or exceed the speed of proprietary endpoints. This makes open agentic loops not just economically viable, but practically superior for developer velocity.
- –Sub-second Time to First Token (TTFT) is critical for terminal-based agents where multi-step planning loops can otherwise feel sluggish
- –Model-agnostic design allows developers to seamlessly route tasks to high-speed inference providers like Groq or local engines
- –The combination of high throughput and low latency enables agentic features like real-time multi-file refactoring without breaking developer flow
- –Using open weights eliminates vendor lock-in and reduces operational costs compared to premium proprietary APIs
