ollama launch opencode

Models

Choose a model with enough context for your repository.

Cloud models

Use larger models without downloading them.

Local models

Choose a model and set a 64k+ context window.
OpenCode requires a context length of 64k or higher. See Context length for more information.

Manual setup

1. Install OpenCode

curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash

2. Configure Ollama as a provider

Add an Ollama provider to opencode.json:
{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "provider": {
    "ollama": {
      "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
      "name": "Ollama",
      "options": {
        "baseURL": "http://localhost:11434/v1"
      },
      "models": {
        "qwen3.5": {
          "name": "qwen3.5"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Run OpenCode

opencode
To configure OpenCode with Ollama without starting an interactive session:
ollama launch opencode --config

Configuration precedence

ollama launch opencode starts OpenCode with an inline config for the selected Ollama model. It does not overwrite ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json; existing OpenCode settings still apply. Models defined only in opencode.json do not appear in the ollama launch model picker. See OpenCode’s config precedence.
