Model-Task Routing (OpenCode Go)

Concrete model ID → task-type mapping for the OpenCode Go subscription. Companion to Model Tier Routing (which covers abstract tier discipline). All heuristics are community-sourced unless marked confirmed.

Task → Model Mapping

Task Type	Model	Tier	Confidence
Orchestration, routing, analysis	opencode-go/deepseek-v4-pro	Opus	confirmed (pi delegate); best issue analyst per head-to-head vs GLM+Kimi
Sequential plan file generation	opencode-go/deepseek-v4-pro or opencode-go/glm-5.2	Opus	community pattern: Mimo→GLM→Kimi→Qwen; GLM ID confirmed by opencode models opencode-go
Brainstorming, creative ideation	opencode-go/kimi-k2.7-code	Sonnet	confirmed (in opencode.json)
Standard coding, multi-file impl	opencode-go/kimi-k2.7-code	Sonnet	community positive; lower hallucination than DS on impl per AA bench (cited, unverified)
Code review, adversarial check	opencode-go/deepseek-v4-pro	Opus	community pattern; opencode-go/qwen3.6-plus also available but not default
Fast boilerplate, rote edits	opencode-go/deepseek-v4-flash	Haiku	confirmed (subagent usage)

Per-Model Profile

deepseek-v4-pro — Opus analog. Reliable for planning and structured tasks. Confirmed in pi delegate and pueue usage. $0.435/$0.87 per M tokens.

kimi-k2.6 — Superseded by kimi-k2.7-code in active agent config. Still available as opencode-go/kimi-k2.6.

deepseek-v4-flash — Haiku analog. Fast, very cheap. Use for read-only, boilerplate, rote subagent work. $0.14/$0.28 per M tokens.

glm-5.2 — Assigned role: plan-writer agent (sequential plan file decomposition). Community niche confirmed: structured planning from spec, not general orchestration. Lower hallucination rate than Kimi K2.6 for implementation per “AA bench” (source: one r/opencodeCLI commenter — benchmark name uncited, unverified). Fast in OpenCode Go. “Opus-comparable” claim is overstated: a separate commenter rates it “around k2.6 level, maybe slightly worse”; DeepSeek V4 Pro outperforms it for issue analysis in direct comparison. Most expensive model in roster at $1.40/$4.40 per M tokens.

glm-5.1 — Older version, still available as opencode-go/glm-5.1. Prefer 5.2.

qwen3.6-plus — Good for review/analysis per community. ID opencode-go/qwen3.6-plus confirmed. opencode-go/qwen3.7-max and opencode-go/qwen3.7-plus also available (newer, uncharacterized).

kimi-k2.7-code — Code-specialized successor to k2.6. Active Sonnet-tier model in all agent configs as of 2026-06-19. ID opencode-go/kimi-k2.7-code confirmed.

mimo-v2.5-pro — Used in community spec→plan workflow. ID opencode-go/mimo-v2.5-pro confirmed. opencode-go/mimo-v2.5 (base) also available.

minimax-m3 — Successor to m2.7. ID opencode-go/minimax-m3 confirmed. Uncharacterized.

Community Workflow Pattern

Multiple r/opencodeCLI users converged on this multi-model pipeline for complex tasks:

opencode-go/mimo-v2.5-pro  → high-level spec
opencode-go/glm-5.2        → sequential plan files from spec
opencode-go/kimi-k2.7-code      → implement each plan file
opencode-go/qwen3.6-plus / opencode-go/deepseek-v4-pro → adversarial review of each step

All IDs confirmed via opencode models (2026-06-19). kimi-k2.7-code now active in agent config in place of kimi-k2.6.

Key insight from the thread: “each model has significant strengths and weaknesses. Unlike Opus, you do not want to use just one model for everything.” — look (8 upvotes)

Why this matters for agent design: the Go subscription enables a specialist pipeline rather than a single-model loop. The delegator’s role shifts from “pick the best one model” to “sequence the right model for each phase.”

Thinking Budget Suffixes

Model IDs accept an effort suffix that controls extended thinking:

Suffix	Meaning
:off	No extended thinking. Fastest, cheapest.
:medium	Moderate reasoning budget.
:high	Max reasoning. Use for hard planning, security, architecture.
(none)	Provider default. Usually equivalent to :off or :medium.

Example: opencode-go/kimi-k2.7-code:high for a deep grill-me session.

Model	Task	Score	Source	Date
kimi-k2.6	Brainstorming / grill-me	anecdotal positive	session usage	2026-06
deepseek-v4-pro	Structured delegation	anecdotal positive	pi delegate usage	2026-06
deepseek-v4-pro	Issue analysis (vs GLM-5.2 and Kimi K2.6 max)	best of three	r/opencodeCLI head-to-head (1 user, unverified)	2026-05
glm-5.2	Implementation hallucination rate (vs Kimi)	lower per “AA bench”	r/opencodeCLI (1 user, bench uncited)	2026-05
glm-5.2	Opus-tier equivalence	contested — “around k2.6 level” vs “trounces Kimi”	r/opencodeCLI conflicting reports	2026-05

Fallback Chain (per provider)

When a Go model is rate-limited or missing, demote within Go before crossing providers. See Model Tier Routing#Missing Model Fallback for the full rule.

Go-specific order:

• Opus slot: deepseek-v4-pro → kimi-k2.6 → cross-provider
• Sonnet slot: kimi-k2.6 → deepseek-v4-pro → cross-provider
• Haiku slot: deepseek-v4-flash → demote to deepseek-v4-flash:off → cross-provider
