Option 'Other' doesn't exist to add custom provider

Question

The docs say go to /connect and select 'Other'?

But, 'Other' is not a selectable option. It's just a title.

I have checked the CLI, VS Code plugin and the desktop GUI and it's all the same. I have also tried adding the details of my custom provider to ~/.config/opencode/config.json, but it doesn't show up.

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "provider": {
    "bla": {
      "name": "bla",
      "options": {
        "baseURL": "https://bla.com/api/v1"
      }
    }
  }
}

How do I add a custom provider? What am I missing?

Some system info.

ProductName:            macOS
ProductVersion:         26.3.1
BuildVersion:           25D2128

If your issue is the same, consider adding a comment there instead. If it's distinct (e.g. a different version or different behavior), feel free to keep this open.

In the latest version of the OpenCode GUI (1.2.17), I was able to add a custom provider under Settings. Adding a model is mandatory.

And this seems to work in the CLI and extensions as well. It updated ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json.

  "provider": {
    "bla": {
      "name": "Bla",
      "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
      "models": {
        "mistral:latest": {
          "name": "mistral:latest"
        },
        "gemma3:latest": {
          "name": "gemma3:latest"
        }
      },
      "options": {
        "baseURL": "https://bla.com/api/v1"
      }
    }
  }

@royfrancis In the GUI yes you can do this. But the TUI is missing the "Other" Option when using /connect.
