Reduce log noise: models.dev refresh logs at INFO level during startup

Problem

During startup, the models.dev refresh function logs at INFO level, creating unnecessary noise in production logs:

INFO  2026-01-25T06:06:04 +69ms service=models.dev file={} refreshing

This log message is operational/diagnostic in nature and doesn't provide actionable information to end users in production environments.

Expected Behavior

Production (INFO level): Operational logs like "refreshing" should be hidden
Local development (DEBUG level): These logs should remain visible for debugging purposes

Proposed Solution

Change the log.info("refreshing", { file }) call to log.debug("refreshing") in the models.dev refresh function.

This approach:

Removes INFO-level log noise during startup
Preserves diagnostic capability for local development where log level defaults to DEBUG
Follows existing patterns in the codebase (e.g., config.ts uses log.debug() for similar operational logs)

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

Excessive Informational Logging Clutters Log Files in Default Configuration #5004: Excessive Informational Logging Clutters Log Files in Default Configuration

Both issues describe the same problem: INFO-level logs cluttering output during startup. You may want to check that issue for additional context or related solutions.

Feel free to ignore if your specific case is different.

As I see it, this is happening because the ModelsDev.refresh() is called on module initialization which is before Log.init() in packages/opencode/src/index.ts. The default log level, before Log.init() is called, is INFO, so those debug() calls will actually not be logged. This defeats the purpose of them being there and I think a more general fix is required.

Maybe moving the initial refresh() call into a its own init() function would be a better approach:

in packages/opencode/src/provider/models.ts wrap the initial call in:

 export function init() {
    if (!Flag.OPENCODE_DISABLE_MODELS_FETCH) {
      ModelsDev.refresh()
      setInterval(
        async () => {
          await ModelsDev.refresh()
        },
        60 * 1000 * 60,
      ).unref()
    }
  }

then in packages/opencode/src/index.ts, load the module and init() it after the Log has been initialized in the cli middleware: ModelsDev.init()

fix(core): only fail startup on actual errors

I'm having this issue on a clean install on macos 26 with version 1.1.35. Haven't found a workaround yet.

To clarify this is not just a problem of amount of logs, this is preventing the use of opencode at least on macos, as it crashes the terminal ui entirely.

I'm having this issue on a clean install on macos 26 with version 1.1.35. Haven't found a workaround yet.

I think a temp workaround would be to just suppress stderr, when launching opencode: opencode 2>/dev/null

@yanosh-k I just tried it, it did not show the info log, but it also crash showing me a blank screen.

fix(core): only fail startup on actual errors (#202)

I tested it, and on macOS with opencode 1.1.36 this method doesn't work; nothing is displayed on the screen, and opencode won't start.

@padapada09

@padapada09 A temporary solution is to go to the release section and download an older version, such as 1.1.30, then run it once to initialize some configurations. After that, you can use version 1.1.36 without any issues.

I am hittin this INFO message on every command. For example:

# opencode completion
INFO  2026-01-25T21:51:27 +34ms service=models.dev file={} refreshing
###-begin-opencode-completions-###
...

The --log-level flag does not help:

# opencode --log-level ERROR completion
INFO  2026-01-25T21:56:29 +34ms service=models.dev file={} refreshing
###-begin-opencode-completions-###
...

When I open opencode, it show following message:

INFO  2026-01-25T22:31:08 +55ms service=models.dev file={} refreshing
INFO  2026-01-25T22:31:09 +52ms service=models.dev file={} refreshing

this is fixed in next release
