# Coding agent adoption, October 2026

> OpenCode was used by 61.2% of organizations running a coding agent through Requesty in October 2026, ahead of Claude Code at 21.8%.

Question: Which coding agents do teams run through an LLM gateway?

## Key findings

1. OpenCode leads on reach: 61.2% of agent organizations used it.
2. Claude Code carries the most agent traffic at 44.6% of coding-agent requests, and the top two agents carry 85.0%.
3. OpenCode moved the most since September 2026: share of agent organizations went from 53.6% to 61.2% (+7.7 pp).
4. 13 agents cleared the publication floors this month.

## Data

| Agent | Share of agent organizations | Share of agent requests | Organizations (band) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| OpenCode | 61.23% | 40.41% | 500+ |
| Claude Code | 21.80% | 44.58% | 100-499 |
| Kilo Code | 6.23% | 2.18% | 100-499 |
| GitHub Copilot | 5.22% | 4.19% | 100-499 |
| Pi | 3.92% | 6.12% | 25-99 |
| Qwen Code | 3.06% | 0.24% | 25-99 |
| Zoo Code | 2.61% | 0.99% | 25-99 |
| Zed | 2.01% | 0.51% | 25-99 |
| Roo Code | 1.56% | 0.14% | 25-99 |
| Cursor | 0.90% | 0.39% | 5-24 |
| Claude Cowork | 0.85% | 0.01% | 5-24 |
| Hermes Agent | 0.75% | 0.11% | 5-24 |
| Cline | 0.45% | 0.12% | 5-24 |

## Method

- Agents are detected from the User-Agent product token and the X-Title header of each request, using the same rules as the public coding-agents classifier. Requests that match no rule are not counted.
- An organization can use more than one agent, so organization shares add up to more than 100%.
- A row is published only when it has at least 20 requests, at least 5 distinct organizations, and no single organization above 80% of its traffic. These are the same floors /rankings uses. Rows below the floors are withheld, not estimated.
- Only shares, rates, medians and organization bands are published. Absolute request, token and spend totals stay private.

## Caveats

- Agents that connect to providers directly, such as Cursor and GitHub Copilot by default, only appear when users route them through Requesty. Their share here understates their market share.
- Agents that do not send a recognisable User-Agent or X-Title are not counted.
- Discontinued agents stay in the history; they drop out of a month when they fall below the floors.
