I'm experiencing a significant performance degradation of how fast opencode works in the last versions.
These recordings should give you an impression.

They are unaltered, and reproducible every single time under these conditions (haven't tried others):

  • gpt-5-mini
  • GitHub Copilot Authentication
  • v0.5.24 vs. v0.10.1

@fkukuck I think this is just the default settings giving to gpt-5 models changing, right now it defaults to high reasoning effort which means it takes longer

You can override this if you would like

I wasn’t aware since I thought GitHub Copilot always runs medium and there is no choice possible.

@fkukuck to override this you can set this in your opencode.json:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "provider": {
    "github-copilot": {
      "models": {
        "gpt-5-mini": {
          "options": {
            "reasoningEffort": "minimal",
            "textVerbosity": "low"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

to see available options read vercel ai sdk docs: https://ai-sdk.dev/providers/ai-sdk-providers/openai#responses-models

reasoningEffort 'minimal' | 'low' | 'medium' | 'high' Reasoning effort for reasoning models. Defaults to medium.
textVerbosity 'low' | 'medium' | 'high' Controls the verbosity of the model's response. Lower values result in more concise responses, while higher values result in more verbose responses. Defaults to 'medium'.
