Just a note that you can use opencode with their API gateway (they call it "zen") to get access to all the most popular models using a single account, including gemini. (Although this wouldn't have helped the author, since they wanted to try the Gemini CLI specifically).

Is there a way to use this with your own openai or anthropic keys?
Yes, I only use my own keys. It even lets you use your Claude Max subscription.

I find Codex CLI to be very good too, but it’s missing tons of features that I use in Claude Code daily that keep me from switching full time.
- Good bash command permission system
- Rollbacks coupled with conversation and code
- Easy switching between approval modes (Claude had a keybind that makes this easy)
- Ability to send messages while it’s working (Codex just queues them up for after it’s done, Claude injects them into the current task)
- Codex is very frustrating when I have to keep allowing it to run the same commands over and over, Claude this works well when I approve it to run a command for the session
- Agents (these are very useful for controlling context)
- A real plan mode (crucial)
- Skills (these are basically just lazy loaded context and are amazing)
- The sandboxing in codex is so confusing, commands fail all the time because they try to log to some system directory or use internet access which is blocked by default and hard to figure out
- Codex prefers python snippets to bash commands which is very hard to permission and audit
When Codex gets to feature parity, I’ll seriously look at switching, but until then it’s just a really good model wrapped in an okay harness
I'm using opencode which I think is now very close to covering all the functionality of claude code. You can use GPT5 Codex with it along with most other models.
Shameless plug for my super simple consistent-hashing implementation in clojure:
https://github.com/ryuuseijin/consistent-hashing
It looks like this works by stripping away the type information, so at best it saves you a transpilation pass and doesn't improve safety.
I'm using tsx for a project to achieve the same effect. As you said, it saves you from having to set up a build/transpilation step, which is very useful for development. Tsx has a --watch feature built in as well, which allows me to run a server from the typescript source files and automatically restart on changes. Maybe with nodemon and this new node improvement this can now done without tsx.
To check types at runtime (if that can even be done in a useful way?) it would have to be built into v8, and I suppose that would be a whole rewrite.

Yes, where's the open source agent that runs on the command line?
It's called opencode: https://opencode.ai/
Claude Code blows everything else out of the water for me. Which makes me certain I have a blind spot.
Has anyone who’s gone decent at Clauding had matching success with other tools?
I've switched to opencode. I use it with Sonnet for targeted refactoring tasks and Gemini to do things that touch a lot of files, which otherwise can get expensive quickly.

I just looked at their pricing and they don't list any GPUs at all that I could find.
