Description

I cannot see the variants (ctrl + t) for the Kimi K2.5 model, I am using the Kimi for coding plan, cannot see the variants using the Kimi K2.5 free model as well. I assume this would have probably been disabled to consume less tokens for the free model, but I think it should be enabled for the Kimi coding plan. I remember seeing the variants earlier today.

1.1.51

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

  • #11185: Ollama Cloud API Key - variants selection not working (ctrl+t)
  • #11307: OpenRouter Provider - GPT-5.2-Codex missing xhigh variant
  • #10748: OpenRouter.ai - google/gemma-3-27b-it:free variant missing
  • #11627: Lost ability to select Claude thinking variants after tools update

Additionally, there are other Kimi K2.5 related issues worth investigating:

  • #11591: Kimi K2.5 Free throws an error on OpenCode Zen
  • #11707: kimi-k2.5 tries to create overlong bash command
  • #11550: Read tool for kimi k2.5 on zen does not work on images

These show a broader pattern of missing or disabled variant selection for specific models and potential Kimi K2.5 integration issues on OpenCode Zen.

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

I am not seeing the reasoning content now, and the peformance doesn't seem to be good compared to high reasoning version. I used to see the reasoning content earlier when I had variant high enabled.

This new issue explains it in a better way.

while the bois are working it out, you can set this in your config in the meantime for the coding plan provider:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  ...
  "provider": {
    "kimi-for-coding": {
      "models": {
        "k2p5": {
          "variants": {
            "max": {
              "thinking": {
                "type": "enabled",
                "budgetTokens": 16000
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
