As of (2026/03/20), OpenCode Zen can use the following five free models:

  • MiniMax M2.5 Free
  • Big Pickle
  • Mimo V2 Pro Free
  • Mimo V2 Omni Free
  • Nemotron 3 Super Free

Is there a way to use more free models? I found one: by obtaining an API Key from build.nvidia.com, you can access 94 models.
