[FEATURE]: Show model capabilities and context window in TUI model picker #41287

Closed

Description

@Duo-Huang
  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

The TUI model picker (/models or Ctrl+P → Switch model) only shows model names and provider names. There is no way to see the model's own technical specifications — context window size, supported input modalities (text/image/audio/video/pdf), and reasoning capability — even though this data is already available locally and is shown in the desktop app's model tooltip.

This makes it hard to:

  • Pick the right model for a task without checking external docs (e.g. which models accept images/PDFs, which support reasoning)
  • Know a model's context window before switching to it, avoiding "exceeding model context limit" surprises mid-session

    Thanks for the suggestion! In 2.1.0, set "experimental": {"new-designs": true} in ~/.config/opencode/cli.json, then open /models: the selected model shows its input modalities, context window, reasoning support, and pricing. Update with opencode upgrade or npm i -g @opencode/cli@latest (desktop: update the app). Please comment or reopen if the details are still missing with that experiment enabled.
