    Thanks for the report! The error Timed out waiting for response headers means NVIDIA's API didn't send any response before OpenCode's header timeout ran out. By default that timeout is 5 minutes, or less if a timeout is set in your provider settings. To work out whether this is an OpenCode problem or the endpoint not responding, could you share:

    1. Which models you tried (the exact model IDs), and whether you're using the built-in nvidia provider (set up with /connect) or a custom provider in your config.
    2. Timing: about how long does each attempt take before the retry message appears? Roughly 5 minutes, or a few seconds?
    3. Your provider config: the provider section of your opencode.json/opencode.jsonc, if you have one. Please remove your API key first. Settings like timeout or headerTimeout matter here.
    4. Whether the API works outside OpenCode, e.g.: 
      curl https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1/chat/completions -H "Authorization: Bearer %NVIDIA_API_KEY%" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"model\":\"<model-id>\",\"messages\":[{\"role\":\"user\",\"content\":\"hi\"}]}"
      Also, are you behind a proxy or VPN?
    5. Logs from a failing attempt, if you can get them.

    You can reply here with the details, or edit the issue. If you edit it, please also leave a comment saying you've updated it so we know you're done.

    I didn't find an exact duplicate, but these related issues may help (ordered by likelihood):

    1. yes i used the /connect inside the cli and pasted in my api key
    2. each attempt takes 5 minnutes and after 25 minutes it erros out compeletly
    3. no opencode.json was made
    4. not tested and no proxy nor vpn
    5. where are the logs?

    Thanks for the quick answers, that helps! About 5 minutes per attempt matches OpenCode's default response-header timeout. So NVIDIA's API accepts each request but never starts answering. Now we need to tell whether NVIDIA's endpoint is slow or stuck, or whether something in the request OpenCode sends is the problem. Could you share:

    1. The exact model(s) you selected, e.g. as shown in the model picker or the model ID.
    2. A direct test outside OpenCode. In Windows Terminal (PowerShell), with your key in place of nvapi-... and the model ID from step 1: 
      curl.exe https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1/chat/completions -H "Authorization: Bearer nvapi-..." -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{\"model\":\"<model-id>\",\"messages\":[{\"role\":\"user\",\"content\":\"hi\"}]}'
      Does it answer quickly, hang, or return an error? Please don't paste your API key here.
    3. Logs: run opencode debug paths log to see the log folder. The file is opencode.log in that folder, usually %USERPROFILE%\.local\share\opencode\log\opencode.log. Please attach the lines from a failing attempt, mainly those with role=server that mention the provider or the timeout. Remove any API keys or authorization headers before sharing.

    You can reply here or edit the issue. If you edit it, please leave a comment so we know it's updated.

    Thanks for trying those!

    About the 404: a plain 404 page not found usually means the request didn't reach the right endpoint in the right shape. PowerShell's handling of quotes in curl commands often causes this, as does leaving <model-id> in the command as written. Could you try this PowerShell version instead? It avoids the quoting problem. Put the model you picked in OpenCode in place of <model-id> (e.g. meta/llama-3.1-8b-instruct) and your key in place of nvapi-...:

    $body = @{ model = "<model-id>"; messages = @(@{ role = "user"; content = "hi" }) } | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 5
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1/chat/completions -Method Post -Headers @{ Authorization = "Bearer nvapi-..." } -ContentType "application/json" -Body $body

    Does it answer within a few seconds, hang, or show an error? Please don't paste your API key here.

    Which model: please also tell us the exact model name or ID you selected in OpenCode. We still need this to try it ourselves.

    About the logs: thanks, though at the default level they don't include the provider request. Could you run one failing attempt with debug logging, in a private server so the setting takes effect?

    $env:OPENCODE_LOG_LEVEL = "DEBUG"
opencode --standalone

    Send one message to the NVIDIA model and wait for the first Retry (about 5 minutes). Then share the opencode.log lines from that time, mainly those with role=server that mention the provider, nvidia, or the timeout. Please remove any API keys or Authorization headers first.

    Thanks for running that test, it answers the question. Your direct request to NVIDIA's API, made without OpenCode, also hangs indefinitely. That means NVIDIA's endpoint isn't responding to your account or model right now, so this doesn't look like an OpenCode bug. OpenCode waits 5 minutes for the provider to start responding, retries a few times, then shows Timed out waiting for response headers. With an endpoint that never answers, that's the expected result.

    Things that may help on NVIDIA's side:

    • Try a different, smaller model in the same test (e.g. meta/llama-3.1-8b-instruct). Free endpoints on build.nvidia.com can be overloaded or queued for popular models.
    • Check your account on build.nvidia.com: whether your API key is still valid, whether you have credits or quota left, and whether the model you picked is still available.

    If you find a model that answers the direct test quickly but still times out in OpenCode, please reply here with that model ID and we'll look into it. Otherwise this issue will be closed automatically, since the problem looks to be with the provider.

    Your direct test also hangs when calling NVIDIA's API without OpenCode, so the reported provider timeout is not specific to OpenCode. Please contact NVIDIA's API support; if a direct request succeeds but the same model still times out in OpenCode, please open a new issue with that comparison.

    Closing this for now, since there's been no reply. Your direct test to NVIDIA's API, made without OpenCode, also hung indefinitely. So the Timed out waiting for response headers errors look like NVIDIA's endpoint not responding for that model or account, not an OpenCode bug. OpenCode waits 5 minutes for a response, retries, and then shows this error.

    If you find a model that answers the direct test quickly but still times out in OpenCode, please comment here with the model ID or open a new issue, and we'll take another look. Thanks for working through the diagnostics!
