Kilo Code pitted GLM-5.2 against Claude Fable 5 on a genuinely hard planning task — turning vague requirements into a spec another model can build without guessing. The result: Fable scored 9.1, GLM-5.2 scored 9.0. Both made the same architectural decisions. One costs roughly a tenth of the other.
OpenCode lets you connect any model from any provider — Claude, GPT, Gemini, GLM-5.2, local Ollama — in terminal, desktop, or IDE. With LSP auto-loading, parallel sessions, share links, and optional OpenCode Zen curated models, it is one of 2026's default open-source harnesses. How it maps to agent harness design and when to pick it over Pi or Claude Code.
