OpenCode: token usage, costs, and access control

OpenCode is an open-source, terminal-first AI coding assistant that integrates seamlessly into developers' workflows, offering flexibility through its model-agnostic design, which supports multiple providers or local models. This flexibility enables experimentation but also presents challenges in managing provider-specific logic, costs, and governance as usage scales. To address these challenges, an AI gateway like Portkey provides a centralized control layer, standardizing request management, cost tracking, and observability across workflows. This gateway facilitates unified cost visibility, structured logging, and policy enforcement, enabling teams to implement access control, budgets, and rate limits without altering OpenCode's developer-friendly interface. By routing requests through this centralized layer, organizations can maintain operational control while ensuring safe and sustainable use of OpenCode in shared or production environments.
