Description

Facing an issue in starting DeepSeek in any free tier & using it. I guess maybe it has been removed from free tier as it can't be seen in models as well, but I don't think anyone has reported it yet.

Plugins

No response

OpenCode version

No response

Steps to reproduce

  1. We can simply check if it was removed permanently for all
  2. We can check if it was for any particular version or for everyone

    Draft you can paste on #43829:

    This is happening for everyone, not a specific OpenCode version or Linux install.

    deepseek-v4-flash-free is still returned by GET /zen/v1/models, but it is marked deprecated in the models catalog (models.opencode.ai). The TUI /models picker hides deprecated models, which is why it no longer appears.

    A live completion request fails for everyone with:

    400  Error from provider (Console): Upstream request failed: Model is unavailable.

    Other free Zen models still work from the same client (mimo-v2.5-free, big-pickle, hy3-free, nemotron-3-ultra-free, nemotron-3.5-lightning-free, x-preview-f-free). The paid alias deepseek-v4-flash is still listed and still requires an API key.

    This looks like the free DeepSeek promotion being taken down (catalog + upstream), not a TUI bug. Same report as #43805 and #41708.

    Workaround: pick another free Zen model from the list above, or use paid opencode/deepseek-v4-flash.

    so this issue from opencode itself when they will solve it ?

    perhaps they remove it

    Thanks for the report. The limited-time DeepSeek V4 Flash Free promotion has ended, so deepseek-v4-flash-free is no longer available in the model picker. This is intentional rather than a TUI bug.

    We’ve recently added new free alternatives through OpenCode, including:

    • Ox Alpha Free
    • Muse Spark 1.2 Contributor Free
    • And several others

    We recommend updating OpenCode to the latest version for the best experience with Ox Alpha, then selecting it through /models.

    The paid deepseek-v4-flash model also remains available through OpenCode Zen. See the Zen documentation for the current model list and applicable data terms.

    Thank You. Now it has been officially confirmed that Deepseek-v4-flash is no more freely available on Opencode. So let's close this issue
