Opencode: Second Impression

Last time I wrote about my first experience using opencode, I was using (and learning) opencode CLI

This time, I switched to Zed editor.

Zed is so amazing that it can work with “Agents” installed on your machine (or it can install them for you) via ACP - Agent Control Protocol

It recognized that opencode was already installed on the machine, and show it in the drop down.

I decided to take it for spin.

Opencode: First Impressions

Everyone is praising opencode - It is like Claude Code, or Codex (or Gemini CLI) except it is not tied to a corporation. It works with models from all of them, and other models, not from these corporations.

I had installed opencode long time ago, but never used it.

Today, I decided to give it a go.

VSCode Multi-Root Magic: Run Flutter APK Builds in Separate Git Repos

Is GenAI biased toward a specific region ?

I came across a LinkedIn post here where the author asked ChatGPT to create a fake Aadhar card, and a fake US Green Card.

For later, ChatGPT added “For Fictional Use only” in the image, and wouldn’t remove it when asked to.

So such “security concern” for the Aadhar Card.

Here is my take on it.

Deepseek : Model vs Web app

There was a post on LinkedIn about how asking DeepSeek to list states of India is not answered. 1

First of all, why would you ask such a trivial question to it , when you can just search.

We need to consider the difference between search engine and “thinking model” like DeepSeek

It is like asking Einstein help with 10th class Physics exam 😃 - while he may be able to help, his abilities are better suited for more difficult tasks.
