OpenCode Says It Won't Train Its Own Model — For Now
Key Info
OpenCode's builder says the platform currently has no plans to train its own model, citing a lack of capability, a crowded field of well-funded efforts, and the need to remain neutral ground where models compete.
Highlights
- No model ambitions: “We are too dumb to” is the blunt reason given for not entering the model-training race.
- Crowded market: The team sees plenty of other well-funded efforts, so another foundation model would add little value.
- Neutral platform: OpenCode wants to stay a neutral arena for different models, rather than favoring one of its own.
