2026-10-24-opencode-free-model-selection-defaults-and-model-picker-visibility-change
Free-model selection defaults and model-picker visibility change. Default selection begins preferring Big Pickle when only free OpenCode models are available, followed by an explicit preference order. Both first reach v2.0.31. Free models also become visible beside paid twins by default, first v2.1.0. The v2.1.4 implementation preserves the conditional free-only ordering.
Channel: tagged-release. Half: both. Date: 2026-10-20.
Operator consequence: Pin a provider/model when routing or retention matters. The free-model exclusion flag in section 10 is only half of the selection story. The default ordering change is not proof that every signed-in or explicitly selected session switches models.
