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

   • Show error message when session auto-naming fails due to disabled small model #9902: Show error message when session auto-naming fails due to disabled small model
   • When use vertex models (like gemini 3 pro perview) no session name generated. #5097: When use vertex models (like gemini 3 pro preview) no session name generated.
   • [FEATURE]: Use a cheap model to name sessions #4133: [FEATURE]: Use a cheap model to name sessions

   These issues describe the same symptom where sessions are not being auto-named/renamed and instead retain the default "New session - timestamp" format.

    I am also seeing every new session named "New session" on OC desktop 1.16.2 (it's been happening for some time, not sure when it started). Latest version of W11.

    I found that even the OpenCode builtin default small model for the title generation hasn't worked (at least in my setup) for some time. Switching to another small_model in the OpenCode configuration fixed the problem for me.

    However, this only affects new sessions. For earlier sessions, you can rename the session manually (with ctrl-r by default).

    I consider all of these workarounds, though. In the long run, the error handling for the title generation should be improved (see also ticket 14807).

    It seems the problem is that sometimes(?) the title generation even with an officially available model fails. If setting the small_model still doesn't generate a title, try a different model.

    Hey open code team
    Can you use 6 first words from the first user message when AI title generation failed for any reason? It will be much better than "New session".
