OpenCode bug mislabels 115 multimodal models as text-only

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer at tommyapi.com discovered that the OpenCode tool was incorrectly identifying models as text-only, preventing image inputs from being processed. This issue stemmed from OpenCode's reliance on a static catalog or local configuration for model capabilities, rather than querying the model provider directly. Additionally, tommyapi.com's own `/v1/models` endpoint was mislabeling 115 multimodal models as text-only due to a flawed regex-based system that did not account for recent updates. To resolve this, the developer implemented a weekly automated testing script that sends an image with a unique number to each model to verify its multimodal capabilities, ensuring accurate metadata.
