Open source alternatives to Amp[006]

Amp is a commercial AI coding agent that plans and applies multi-file code changes from the terminal and the editor. Below are 6 self-hostable open source alternatives, ranked by GitHub popularity.

// EDITOR'S TAKE

opencode is the nearest match to Amp's terminal-first agent loop and lets you point at any model rather than one vendor's. Cline is the better choice if you want the same agentic edits inside VS Code with diffs to approve, while Aider stays deliberately narrow around file edits and git commits, and Continue is an assistant framework rather than an autonomous agent.
