Summary

Adam requested adding model metadata tooltips to the Desktop Choose Model dialog (Ctrl+'). See Figma manage models section: https://www.figma.com/design/nm7fT1he2hcniHIipY1iEk/opencode-open-source?node-id=62-15981&t=FSAXJprvW4rRgLZU-0.

Details

  • Show tooltip on hover for each model in Choose Model.
  • Title format: <Source Provider> <Model Name> (e.g. OpenAI GPT-5.2-Codex).
  • Body lines:
    • Allows: <modalities.input>
    • Allows reasoning or No reasoning
    • Context limit <limit.context>
  • Use source-provider inference for Copilot models (gpt/claude/gemini/grok prefixes) so OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/xAI is shown instead of GitHub Copilot.
  • Tooltip should be anchored to the full list item so it doesn’t overlap the selected row.

Acceptance

  • Hovering any model in Choose Model shows the tooltip with correct data.
  • Copilot models show the actual underlying provider (OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/xAI).
  • Tooltip placement is to the right of the list without overlapping the selected row.

Notes

Please treat this as a requested product feature from Adam (not an open-source contributor-led feature).
