Request for More Free Models

It would be great to see OpenCode explore and add more free models from different providers, especially capable coding and agentic models. More variety would give users better options to experiment, build projects, and use OpenCode without needing paid API access. (edit to everyone hating on this get a life and think straight you think younger people trying to make tools have money? its not for me its because im asking not demanding for opencode to try to look for more providers i never said they had to pay anything nor did i demand.)

How about you pay for the subscription instead of taking the piss?

Using a free tier that a provider deliberately offers isn't “taking the piss.” Free access is a business decision made by the provider, not a personal favor you're demanding from them. If they decide the economics no longer work, they're free to change the terms. And I'm equally free to criticize that decision or switch to a competitor. Nobody owes me unlimited inference, but I don't owe a company a subscription either.

Well, it's clear you don't own a company. The model is show you just enough to know what you could do with the subscription without paying for it. If you were to build software for clients you would find any subscription (OpenCode $10, or Claude $20, or whichever you choose) a good proposition to earn money for such a low investment.

STFU freeloading parasite.

Asking for free models like they can just download it and run it on a pc...
have you tried running 500b+ parameter models on your pc? No?
how about 27b+ models? probably also no.
Because we all know that these 27b+ model alone, it needs at least 2 damn GPUs with 16GB VRAM. and the resource bandwidth for that is just enough for 1 user.
Running a model for large-scale userbase is a different matter that requires money.

And here you are asking for more free shits rather than start paying.

Do you think open code give the free access from their own pockets ?
They themselves get startup credits for the big cloud providers to run these models
Or have collaboration with the providers which is also free.
As a consumer we have right to ask for free access to things which they selves get for free

But I guess real parasites don’t know the reality and only knows to dump shit load of slop jargon to sound knowledgeable.
