Question

Explore agent uses the main model, which may be cost-inefficient. Claude Code automatically switches from Sonnet to Haiku for the explore agent. Can I achieve it in OpenCode?

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #4344: Selected model for agent in TUI doesn't stick between Agent Alternation
  • #4981: Model/Agent selection on the intro screen not applied
  • #4901: SDK Messages cause switch back to default model
  • #4475: Plugins using noReply seem to cause model to switch to agent default

These issues all discuss problems with model selection and agent-specific model configuration. You may also be interested in:

  • #4737: Set up predefined models for agents (feature request related to your use case)
  • #5054: {env:MY_VAR} support in agent yaml (alternative approach for configuration)

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.
