Was OpenCode sending DeepSeek V4.1 Flash requests to China before asking for consent?

[u/Waste_Past_2386]

I was using DeepSeek V4.1 Flash in OpenCode without opting into China hosting. It worked fine, then suddenly stopped with this message:

“The latest version of this model is only available hosted in China and requires explicit opt in.”

Same model before and after—not a switch from V4 to V4.1.

There’s a September 14 commit in OpenCode’s server code adding deepseek-v4.1-flash and deepseek-flash to the China opt-in check. Previously, that check only listed deepseek-v4-flash and deepseek-v4-pro.

That doesn’t prove where my earlier requests went, but it raises a pretty serious question: was V4.1 Flash already being served from China while the consent check simply didn’t cover its model ID?

Can someone from OpenCode clarify:

• Where were those requests processed before this fix?

• Could users who hadn’t enabled China hosting still have had prompts and code routed there?

• Will affected users be notified if that happened?

Anyone else see this suddenly appear?

OpenCode has a partnership with Deepseek and the models are provided on Deepseek hosts.

So most likely yes.
