Exciting to see @OpenCode 2.0 ship! is a rewrite, not a point release. Here are the highlights.

Code Mode: the agent writes one short JavaScript script that chains tool calls, instead of separate round trips. MCP servers and @OpenAPISpec endpoints become callable functions. I want to try it on workflows that hit several MCP servers in a row.

Always-on local server: one background process that the TUI, web interface and desktop app all connect to. Scripts can discover it through the client package, and /pair exposes it to other hosts.

Background tasks: subagents and shell commands can run in the background, and ctrl+b moves running foreground work there. Useful for long test runs while you keep working.

The API was rebuilt from scratch, and the agent can call its own API, for example to create a git worktree and move a session into it. Agents setting up their own workspace is a nice direction.

Plugins: 80+ internal plugins implement the 2.0 features, TUI plugins are now stable, and plugins hot-reload mid-session.

The catch is that it's a breaking release: 1.0 plugins won't work, the server API is different, and the SDK is still changing. Full notes: anoma.ly/notes/openco...
