Really great initiative. I wait eagerly for the release and can then join in testing. Asking from @danielmiessler, what is your vision in how in the future the choice of platform (or parallel multi-platform use) should happen? Would the main PAI have configuration options for Claude, OpenCode, Codex, Gemini... |

@jogi-poikola thank you so much for the props, man! But since different AI software platforms like Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini Code, or others have sometimes significant architectural differences, it's not always just plug and play: I clearly hope to be able to contribute to the community a translation layer for porting PAI 2.x updates or packages quite easily into OpenCode, since it is - at least for me - the undisputed best choice for AI software and coding platforms. |

Hi, many thanks for your work on this. Your port was referred in another thread in which I'm trying to figure out a way of using pai without having to get Claude max which is fairly expensive for me. Any experience on using your opencode port with opencode zen or other cheaper models/providers? I have Claude pro and I'm hitting the limits quite fast. Many thanks!! |

@javierburongarcia yes - my install wizard lets you choose 8 models to be auto-incorporated into all agents - including opencode ZEN with he available free models: Yes, free models from OC Zen work out of the box directly after installation - give it a try. |

🚀 PAI-OpenCode v0.5 Complete - v0.6 History System In ProgressVersion: v0.5.0 ✅ Released v0.5 Plugin Infrastructure - CompleteThe plugin system foundation is now validated and working:
v0.6 History System - In Active DevelopmentCurrently implementing the full history system with 8 plugins for session tracking, learnings capture, and SpecFirst integration. Progress:
🐛 Technical Issues We Hit - Community Input Welcome!We ran into some interesting edge cases. If anyone has experience with these, we'd love input: Issue 1: TUI Corruption from CLI Tools (BLOCKING)Symptom: OpenCode TUI renders garbage characters and corrupts display Root Cause: Our CLI tools in Affected files:
Question: What's the correct way to output from OpenCode tools without corrupting the TUI? File-based logging? A specific OpenCode API? Issue 2: Segmentation Fault with Plugins EnabledSymptom: When: Running OpenCode with our plugins in Status: Hard to debug - happens before any useful error output. Currently have plugins disabled while investigating. Question: Has anyone seen segfaults from plugins? Any common causes? Issue 3: Argument Parsing in ToolsSymptom: session-search shows "Sessions matching undefined" Likely Cause: Our argv parsing isn't handling OpenCode's tool invocation correctly. Minor - will fix once Issue 1 is resolved. Updated Milestone Table

🔍 Update: Found the answers via DeepWikiDid some code archaeology on the Issue 1: TUI Corruption - SOLVEDRoot cause confirmed: OpenCode tools must return strings, not use // WRONG
async execute(args) {
console.log("output") // ❌ Corrupts TUI
}
// CORRECT
async execute(args) {
return "output" // ✅ Framework handles display
}For debugging, OpenCode provides Issue 2: Segmentation Fault - Leads identifiedPlugins run in the same process space as OpenCode (no isolation). Potential causes:
Debug strategy: Enable plugins one-by-one, avoid native modules, check Will fix the console.log issue first, then isolate the segfault source. Thanks to anyone who read through the earlier issues - turns out the OpenCode codebase had the answers all along! |

📢 Status Update: PAI 2.3 Realignment
Hey everyone, Time for an honest update on what's been happening—and why things have been quiet. The DiscoveryWhile continuing development, I discovered that the PAI upstream has evolved significantly since we started. The Most notably: What This MeansThe good news: This isn't a "start over" situation. The core work—agent definitions, plugin infrastructure, skill system—remains valid. What needs to change:
What stays the same:
This is actually the core value proposition of PAI-OpenCode: PAI patterns translated for OpenCode's architecture. Next StepsWorking on v0.6.0 "PAI 2.3 Alignment"—a structural reset that brings us in line with current upstream while respecting OpenCode's conventions. After that, the roadmap includes:
Lesson LearnedAlways The two weeks of quiet were spent understanding the scope of this and planning the fix properly. Now we have a clear path forward. Thanks for your patience. More updates coming soon. Questions or suggestions? Happy to discuss here. |

🎉 v0.7.0 Released - Plugin Adapter Complete!
Excited to share that PAI-OpenCode v0.7.0 is now live with a fully working Plugin Adapter system. All 4 core tests are passing:
What's New🛡️ Security Blocking Works! 📄 Context Injection 📝 TUI-Safe Logging Key Technical DiscoveryWhile debugging, we discovered an important OpenCode API quirk that might help others building plugins: // In tool.execute.before, args are in OUTPUT, not input!
"tool.execute.before": async (input, output) => {
const command = output.args.command; // ← Correct!
// NOT: input.args.command ← Wrong!
}This is now documented in our Progress Update

🚀 PAI-OpenCode v1.3.0 — Multi-Provider Agent System
Hey PAI community! v1.3.0 is a turning point for PAI-OpenCode. Up until now, we were essentially running a 1:1 port of vanilla PAI — proving the architecture works on OpenCode. That's done. With v1.3.0, we're now leveraging what makes OpenCode unique: the ability to mix providers, mix models, and route different agents to different backends — all within the same session. What's Different HereMost AI coding tools either lock you to one provider (Claude Code → Anthropic, Copilot → GitHub Models) or let you manually switch models (Cursor, Aider). PAI-OpenCode does something none of them do: the orchestrator automatically routes each task to the right model at the right cost — and the same agent scales up or down dynamically.
The orchestrator decides per task. You always pay exactly what the task requires — no more, no less. This is built by the PAI-OpenCode agent system on top of OpenCode's multi-provider support. As far as we can tell, no other AI coding assistant or agent framework currently offers this pattern of dynamic per-task model tier routing across provider boundaries. 15 Specialized Agents with Dynamic Tier Routing
3 Configuration PresetsPick a strategy and go — no manual config editing:
Why This MattersSince v1.0, the most common question was: "Can I use this without Claude Max?" and "What about cheaper models?" v1.3.0 answers both: Yes. But more importantly — your agents dynamically select the model that matches the task complexity. Simple tasks stay cheap. Complex tasks get the power they need. The orchestrator handles the routing.

Hi, great stuff! I would like to test this keeping my Claude pro and getting a zen pay per go, Two questions? Could I route dynamically between my Claude pro and zen credits? What about privacy? Switching between all those providers spreads all my personal data across? Thanks for all these amazing work!! |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
-
|
I did a bit of research and it seems that opencode zen free models do use your data for training so I wouldn't recommend to set those by default unless the user has a clear understanding of this. Many thanks for all your work! |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
-
|
@javierburongarcia thx for the appreciation :) regarding routing: yes - you could create like multiple Opencode.json clones with different Agent model routing tables switching between those changing just a symlink e.g. so you could distribute between Zen and Anthropic privacy: always depend on the Model you use - Yeah sure - when you dont pay for the Models, you are the product being sold. |

🚀 PAI-OpenCode v2.0.0 Released — Algorithm v1.8.0: The Verification Release
Hey PAI community! The biggest PAI-OpenCode release since inception is here. v2.0.0 ports 14 upstream commits from Daniel's PAI system, upgrading the core Algorithm from v0.2.25 to v1.8.0 and achieving full PAI v3.0 parity. While the Algorithm evolved dramatically, all 39 skills, 16 agents, 3 provider presets, and 20 plugin handlers continue to work unchanged. Upgrade with confidence. Why This Release MattersIf you've ever had an AI assistant claim "all tests passing" without actually running tests, or watched your specific requirements dissolve into vague criteria during implementation — those are the two failure modes v2.0.0 was built to eliminate. Highlights🔒 Verify Completion Gate (v1.6.0) 🔬 Constraint Extraction System (v1.3.0) 🧠 Wisdom Frames (v1.8.0) ⚡ Zero-Delay Output (v1.6.0) 📊 8 Effort Levels 🔍 25-Capability Full Scan 🛡️ Build Drift Prevention 📋 PRD System What's Also New
Breaking Changes
Provider Flexibility (Unchanged — Still Works)PAI on Claude Code = Anthropic only. PAI-OpenCode = 75+ providers. Same agent, different models based on task complexity:

I've only just barely started to use Claude Code (stock), and thinking ahead of if I want an OpenClaw on my local server (old GTX 1080 GPU for now) and how to have them interact/etc. I've also been thinking if there's a way to have PAI v3.0 actually hit llama.cpp as a router to, for general things, hit the local LLM, save me money/usage, but for more advanced needs, and perhaps interactive sessions, hit Anthropic for the standard Opus/Sonnet/Haiku models as needed. Is this part of what this port to OpenCode is about? Being able to run multiple models and mixing local with remote/cloud to get the best of both worlds kind of thing? EDIT: Actually nevermind! I just looked at your latest comment/updates, looked at OpenCode, and found the Providers that it does do local llamap.cpp/etc as I was looking for. I suppose next question, is, I can still use my Anthropic Max subscription? Or do I need to switch to API credentials/access? |

Yes. The long-term strategy here is always to have more freedom and have it be more of your own. The underlying structure underneath PAI is able to change quite a bit over time. Currently, it's built on Claude Code because it's just the best thing out there, but at some point, the quality of building from individual spare and open parts is going to outpace the advantages of a proprietary solution.
So PAI will be its own thing sitting on top of whatever is below it. Currently Claude Code, but eventually it will probably be something more like the Pi project. Which is just a whole bunch of tiny little raw components that you can stitch together in various ways. Completely open.

Heh, that went pretty poorly, trying to run a model with sufficiently large context for this on a GTX 1080 8GB. Some good experimentation and learning, but no actual usable setup. But failures are a great way to learn what minimum limits are, and how things are structured/handled. |

What is PAI-OpenCode?
PAI-OpenCode is a community-driven implementation of Daniel's PAI (Personal AI Infrastructure) system on OpenCode — the open-source AI coding assistant that runs in your terminal.
The project started as a vanilla port to validate that PAI's architecture is platform-agnostic. That validation is complete. Since then, PAI-OpenCode has evolved into its own implementation that leverages what makes OpenCode unique: multi-provider support with dynamic model routing.
Current Status: v2.0.0 — Algorithm v1.8.0
The biggest release since inception. 14 upstream commits ported, Algorithm upgraded from v0.2.25 to v1.8.0, full PAI v3.0 parity.
zen-paid(75+ providers),openrouter,local-ollama(fully offline)As far as we can tell, no other AI coding assistant or agent framework currently offers this pattern of dynamic per-task model tier routing across provider boundaries.
