   Hi, this should already be possible, in your opencode config json file:

   "agent": {
     "general": {
       "model": "my-private-provider/my-custom-model"
     }
   },

   Or if you own the frontmatter in the markdown file: (will not work with built-in models obviously)

   ---
   description: ...
   mode: subagent
   model: my-private-provider/my-custom-model
   name: my-private-agent
   tools:
     bash: false
   ---
   
   # My Agent
   
   ...
