"Most AI coding tools work by sending your code somewhere else. When you use Cursor, your code snippets travel to Cursor's backend (hosted on AWS) before being forwarded to model providers like OpenAI and Anthropic. Claude Code sends files and prompts directly to Anthropic's servers. This architecture works fine for most teams, but for healthcare companies handling PHI, financial institutions under SOC 2, or government contractors with classified codebases, any external data transmission can violate compliance requirements, regardless of encryption or zero-retention agreements."
"OpenCode is available as a terminal-based TUI (text user interface), VS Code extension, or desktop application. The architecture supports 75+ LLM providers through the AI SDK and Models.dev, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Azure OpenAI, but critically, it also supports local model execution via Ollama. The tool acts as a local orchestrator. When you configure cloud providers, requests go directly to their APIs. When you configure Ollama with local models, everything runs on your hardware, with no intermediary storage, no telemetry collection, and"
Many AI coding tools route code snippets and prompts through external backends or directly to third-party servers, creating external data transmission. Cursor forwards snippets through an AWS-hosted backend to providers like OpenAI and Anthropic. Claude Code sends files and prompts directly to Anthropic's servers. External transmission can violate compliance for healthcare PHI, SOC 2 financial controls, or classified government codebases. OpenCode is an open-source AI coding agent that supports local model execution via Ollama, running inference on local hardware with no intermediary storage or telemetry. OpenCode provides terminal, VS Code extension, and desktop interfaces and also supports many cloud providers when configured.
