Models other than hy3-free / deepseek flash free fail with Forbidden: {model:big-pickle} #43054
When using opencode with any model other than hy3-free and deepseek flash free, requests fail with a Forbidden error whose body references the model big-pickle:
Forbidden: {"model":"big-pickle"}
Only hy3-free and deepseek flash free are usable. Every other model selection results in this error.
Steps to reproduce
Set the active model to anything other than hy3-free or deepseek flash free (e.g. a model that internally resolves to / is routed as big-pickle).
Send any prompt / start a session.
Observe the Forbidden: {"model":"big-pickle"} response.
Expected behavior
The selected model is accepted and the request completes, OR
a clear, descriptive error explains which models are permitted.
Actual behavior
The request is rejected with Forbidden: {"model":"big-pickle"}.
Only hy3-free and deepseek flash free work.
Notes
The rejected model id big-pickle appears to be a backend model name that is not authorized for the account/endpoint.
This looks like a model-access / entitlement issue: the backend only allows hy3-free and deepseek flash free, while other models (including ones that map to big-pickle) are blocked with a bare Forbidden and no detail.
A clearer error message (which models are allowed, or why this one is forbidden) would make the failure actionable instead of cryptic.
Thanks for the report! This was confirmed working again after updating OpenCode, so closing this issue. If you still see Forbidden errors on the latest 2.0, please open a new issue with your version and the model you're using.
