   Thanks for the request! You're asking for an OPENCODE_ONLY_FREE_MODELS=1 (or true) flag, the reverse of OPENCODE_DISABLE_FREE_MODELS. It would keep only free models on the opencode and opencode-go providers and remove paid ones from defaults and explicit selection. Maintainers will consider it.

   Until then, you can get most of this with a small local server plugin. It uses the model-transform hook to remove every opencode / opencode-go model that has an input price, and leaves other providers alone:

   import { Plugin } from "@opencode/plugin"
   
   const HOSTED = new Set(["opencode", "opencode-go"])
   
   export default Plugin.define({
     id: "local.only-free-models",
     async setup(ctx) {
       await ctx.model.transform((editor) => {
         editor
           .list()
           .filter((model) => HOSTED.has(model.providerID))
           .filter((model) => model.cost.some((tier) => tier.input > 0))
           .forEach((model) => editor.remove(model.providerID, model.id))
       })
     },
   })

   To install it, save the file as .opencode/plugins/only-free-models/index.ts in your project, or as ~/.config/opencode/plugins/only-free-models/index.ts and add "./plugins/only-free-models" to plugins in your global opencode.json(c). Then run opencode service restart. I checked it against the plugin API types but couldn't run it here, so please let us know if it doesn't behave as expected. It always filters, so it has no environment toggle; you could add a process.env check at the top of setup if you want one.

   Wasn't if I needed to open a new request because my request is similar to this one, a selector for Opencode GO only models. I could not find a way on the Console /models to see a list of just the models included with my GO subscription.

   https://opencode.ai/console/go does show models and their monthly usage limits, but it doesn't show all the models nor what usage I have left for each model.

   I am new to GO, and really happy to have joined in, so if it is unnecessary to track individual model available usage limits , I apologise.

   I swear I checked and the model list was not on the console yesterday. Today it is. Please tell me I'm not losing my mind.

   If you did just add it, thank you. That is very informative. If I understand the GO limits, is there a way to add a usage tracker to that list so I can tell if I am nearing the limit for a specific model?

   Keep up the great work.
