OpenCode no longer including DeepSeek?
High agreement — the answer is well-supported across models.
Models agree on
- ✓No official announcement from OpenCode regarding DeepSeek's removal
- ✓Suggestions to verify by checking OpenCode’s official channels or testing directly
- ✓Recommendation to consider alternative models like CodeLlama or StarCoder if DeepSeek is unavailable
As of my latest information, there hasn't been an official announcement from OpenCode explicitly stating the removal of DeepSeek. However, potential explanations for its absence could include licensing or legal restrictions, strategic shifts in AI model selection, technical or performance issues, competitive dynamics, or alignment with OpenCode's objectives and quality standards.
To verify the status of DeepSeek in OpenCode, I recommend checking OpenCode’s official channels like their website or GitHub repository for announcements or changelogs. Additionally, direct testing of DeepSeek's availability through OpenCode’s interface or API can provide immediate feedback. If DeepSeek is indeed no longer included, alternatives such as CodeLlama, StarCoder, and Mistral-7B offer viable substitutes depending on your specific needs.
This situation may reflect broader business or technical decisions rather than a critique of DeepSeek’s capabilities. It’s advisable to stay proactive by verifying the change, testing alternatives, and adapting your workflow to minimize disruption.
