Probably the opposite? Avoiding a provider dependency would be my guess

It's more a deep mistrust of US Big Ai, the tech oligarchy, and the misaligned incentives in our dysfunctional economy.

So you go for chinese models which you trust more? or..

I'm currently running qwen and gemma models in my homelab and using five different Chinese model families in the per-token/sub plans

I trust the open models which can be poked and prodded over the closed models that are having inputs and outputs manipulated, or flat out refusing legitimate requests

model family diversity in your workflows is important, regardless of open or closed

You still depend on Opencode, now you depend on two things instead of one.

Check and mate

I use open weights and harnesses not tied to a single vendor, I definitely do not touch anything the two US Big Ai labs puts out. I'm not interested in handing power and control of humans most significant technology to the same class of people that brought us the technologies that created our mess of a digital ecosystem.

I switched to pi while I go refresh my personal/custom harness, though that may be a bit off, there are more important things to work (and burn tokens) on

So you use clones and copycats instead? You don't trust Sauron's ring so you make your own ring, maybe just no ring?

Tbf this is as old as free software instead
