Thanks for the report and the screenshot!
This looks intentional, not a bug. You're on OpenCode Desktop 1.19.4, which is OpenCode v1. As the message says, this older version no longer supports free models. v1 now only gets fixes for critical bugs, so this is unlikely to change there.
To keep using free models, please update to the latest OpenCode (v2) from https://opencode.ai/download. v2 is where active development happens, and it supports free models.
If you still see this after updating to v2, or you think it's critical for some other reason, please reply here with your new version number.

Last update was 4 days ago, would had been nice to be told V1 is no longer supported. V2 doesn't have an AppImage and can not find the source code for V2.

Closing this as a duplicate of #59387, the main issue for free tier problems.
Most of these reports come from OpenCode v1 (
0.x/1.x), which no longer supports free models. Updating to the latest v2 from https://opencode.ai/v2/docs fixes it for many people. The v1 Desktop updater keeps you on1.x, so download v2 manually.If you still have the problem on the latest v2, please comment on #59387 with the details listed there. For account, billing or Go subscription problems, email help@anoma.ly.

@neriousy Is there a blog post or page about V2 or why the team has done this?
