   I simply downloaded the models.json file and placed it in the .cache/opencode directory, and that solved the problem.

   @donbing007 : just to confirm, you downloaded from https://models.dev/api.json (note file name: api.json) and placed that contents in the cache directory under a file named 'models.json', right?
