OpenCode Go

OpenCode Go is a separate paid subscription inside OpenCode. It uses the same OPENCODE_API_KEY credential infrastructure as Zen, but a Zen key does not automatically include Go entitlement. Go keeps its own runtime provider id (opencode-go) so upstream per-model routing stays correct. OpenCode Go is bundled in the OpenClaw package for this release, so onboarding and configuration are sufficient; no separate plugin install is required.

Getting started

OpenCode Go is already included with OpenClaw for this release. Continue with interactive onboarding or pass the shared OpenCode API key directly.

```bash openclaw onboard --auth-choice opencode-go ``` ```bash openclaw config set agents.defaults.model.primary "opencode-go/kimi-k3" ``` ```bash openclaw models list --provider opencode-go ``` ```bash openclaw onboard --opencode-go-api-key "$OPENCODE_API_KEY" ``` ```bash openclaw models list --provider opencode-go ```

Config example

{
  env: { vars: { OPENCODE_API_KEY: "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" } }, // pragma: allowlist secret
  agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "opencode-go/kimi-k3" } } },
}

Catalog

Run openclaw models list --provider opencode-go for the current model list. OpenClaw combines Go's advertised model IDs with authoritative metadata from https://models.opencode.ai/api.json, so new upstream models appear without an OpenClaw update when they use a supported transport on the trusted OpenCode endpoint. The upstream catalog is downloaded and cached only when OpenCode Zen or Go is configured or explicitly selected with OpenCode credentials; it is never fetched at startup or while using unrelated providers.

Example refs include opencode-go/deepseek-v4-flash, opencode-go/kimi-k3, and opencode-go/qwen3.8-max. Use the CLI for the current lineup rather than treating these examples as an inventory. OpenClaw excludes deprecated rows from active discovery and applies refreshed lifecycle status to its offline fallback. Bundled preview rows stay hidden until accepted upstream metadata supplies them. Existing explicit refs in the bundled seed remain resolvable.

The Go model-list endpoint is a general inventory, not an account-entitlement check. A successful listing does not grant access: inference still requires an active Go subscription, including for promotional models.

Privacy

Retention and training policies vary by model. Review the current OpenCode Go privacy table before using a model, because provider policy can change independently of OpenClaw.

Advanced configuration

OpenClaw routes any `opencode-go/...` model ref automatically. No extra provider config is required. Runtime refs stay explicit: `opencode/...` for Zen, `opencode-go/...` for Go. This keeps upstream per-model routing correct across both catalogs. The same `OPENCODE_API_KEY` can authenticate both runtime providers, so setup may store both profiles. Go access still requires a separate paid subscription in the OpenCode console. See [OpenCode](/providers/opencode) for the shared onboarding overview and the full Zen + Go catalog reference.
