Opencode have it in their subscription

I believe it's one of the models you have to go in to your settings on and enable Chinese providers for to use. Could be mistaken. I wish there was a clear list on this.

If you check https://opencode.ai/go and fold out the what models do you have question you can see a clear list of models included.

i just checked yet again, and i can't see how it satisfies my ask: which models to i have to turn on Chinese providers for or not?

You don’t have to turn anything on to use the providers in that list. They work out of the box.

I'm pretty sick of having to address incorrect points masquerading as being well-informed, helpful, or knowing. Please: stop it! Stop it at once. You are wrong. Stop talking like you know anything, because you have only mislead and provided incomplete or outright bad information. Stop hallucinating into this thread! It's rude and bad.

On the OpenCode Go workspace there is a huge box:

  Providers
  Control which providers are used for routing.

  Enable models hosted in China <toggle-button>

If you turn this off, DeepSeek Flash & Pro both stop working:

  Error: Provider request failed with HTTP 403: The latest version of this model is only available hosted in China and requires explicit opt in: https://opencode.ai/workspace/wrk_msh_is_a_liar_stop_bullshitting_please_be_real_example_url/go

Kimi K3, MiMo V2.5 Pro, MiniMax M3, Qwen3.8 Max all work (remarkably!) without the box ticked! That was a strong surprise for me.

My request stands: I would like to have up-front information on what models only have Chinese providers. This information is not available except by buying a plan and experimenting, currently. And I had to try each one to find out, which I wish could be avoided. I want to end this thread where I started it (now that I have done the work to cut through the din and noise and misinformation), with my original request: please OpenCode Go make the information about which providers have Chinese-only/non-China hosting readily available on your website.

My answer is still correct. You asked if you had to turn on Chinese models to use this. And no you don’t, the models are available by default. If they work when you manually turn off Chinese models is a different question.

The button is off by default, when I signed up ~7 weeks ago! Wrong again.
