Description

Problem Description

When attempting to paste images from clipboard into OpenCode TUI, the system fails to recognize/process the image input. The error message shows: "I cannot see the image. It appears there was an error reading from the clipboard, and this model does not support direct image input via that method."

However, the same models (Gemini Flash/Pro Preview) work perfectly with image input when tested through other tools (goose CLI via Ollama), confirming that the underlying models and Ollama infrastructure DO support image processing.

Environment Details

  • OpenCode Version: 1.1.25
  • Terminal: Alacritty 0.16.1
  • OS: Linux "nixos" (Wayland session)
  • Clipboard Tool: wl-copy (Wayland clipboard)
  • Provider: Ollama with cloud models as local models
  • Model Tested: gemini-3-flash-preview:latest and gemini-3-pro-preview:latest
  • Screenshots Location: ~/Pictures/Screenshots/ (contains PNG files)

Configuration

// ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json
{
  "provider": {
    "ollama": {
      "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
      "name": "Ollama",
      "options": {
        "baseURL": "http://localhost:11434/v1"
      },
      "models": {
        "gemini-3-flash-preview:latest": {
          "name": "Gemini 3 Flash Preview",
          "options": {
            "capabilities": {
              "input": ["text", "image"],
              "output": ["text"]
            }
          }
        },
        // ... other models configured similarly
      }
    }
  }
}

Things I tried to resolve this issue

  1. Added explicit capabilities: Configured "input": ["text", "image"] for vision-capable models
  2. Qwen3 VL model: Vision-specific model also doesn't work with clipboard paste
  3. File path reference via @ syntax: Attempted @Pictures/Screenshots/ reference method - also does not work

Findings

  1. Error suggests clipboard read failure, not model capability issue
  2. File path reference via @ syntax does not work for images, despite being attempted

Reproduction Steps

  1. Configure OpenCode with Ollama provider running cloud models as local models
  2. Copy any image to clipboard (e.g., screenshot)
  3. Paste into OpenCode TUI conversation
  4. Ask "Can you see [Image 1]?"
  5. Observe the error about clipboard read failure

Additional Testing Results

  1. @ file path syntax also fails: Attempted @Pictures/Screenshots/ and @2026-01-09_10-59-43.png references do not work

Additional Context

Tested with Goose CLI using same Ollama models - images work perfectly there, confirming the issue is with OpenCode's clipboard/image input handling, not with Ollama or the models themselves.

I'm aware of the 'ollama launch' command, though I haven't tested it so far.

I was using Antigravity in windows, and connecting to the wsl environment for dev.

In wsl terminal, when the opencode reads "ctrl-v", it obtains the clipboard image by powershell. So it is essential to make sure that the powershell path is configured in .bashrc before the opencode cli is exectued.
