Describe the enhancement you want to request

I am a newbie using opencode, so maybe this is already covered somewhere and I failed to spot it. I am sorry about that if this is the case.

I was trying to use mistral models through vertexai in opencode and it fail. The reason is that mistral seems to expect openai compatible communication. The following was generated by AI:

Feature Request: Native Support for Mistral Models on Google Vertex AI

Summary

Add native support for Mistral AI models (e.g., mistral-small-2503, mistral-medium-3) available through Google Cloud Vertex AI in the @ai-sdk/google-vertex provider or as a separate provider package.

Problem Statement

Currently, OpenCode cannot use Mistral models deployed on Google Cloud Vertex AI because:

1. Different API Endpoint: Mistral models on Vertex AI use a different endpoint structure than standard Vertex AI models:

   POST /v1/projects/{project}/locations/{location}/publishers/mistralai/models/{model}:streamRawPredict
   

   Instead of the standard generative AI endpoints.

2. Custom Request Format: Mistral models expect the native Mistral/OpenAI-compatible format (with messages, model, stream, etc.), not the Vertex AI Gemini format.

3. Plugin System Limitation: While OpenCode supports custom plugins that implement LanguageModelV1, the framework appears to bypass custom doStream()/doGenerate() methods and instead attempts to construct HTTP requests using baseURL + "/chat/completions", which doesn't exist for Vertex AI endpoints.

Current Workaround

To use Mistral models on Vertex AI with OpenCode, we need to run a local proxy server that:

• Exposes an OpenAI-compatible endpoint (/v1/chat/completions)
• Translates requests to Vertex AI's streamRawPredict format
• Converts responses back to OpenAI format

This works but requires:

• Running an additional service (proxy server)
• Manual startup before each OpenCode session
• Extra maintenance overhead

Proposed Solution

Option 1: Extend @ai-sdk/google-vertex Provider (Recommended)

Add support for Mistral models directly in the existing Google Vertex AI provider:

// Example usage
import { vertex } from '@ai-sdk/google-vertex';

const model = vertex('mistral-small-2503', {
  project: 'my-project',
  location: 'europe-west4',
  publisher: 'mistralai', // New option
});

Implementation approach:

1. Detect publisher prefix (e.g., mistralai/*) or add explicit publisher option
2. Route to appropriate endpoint based on publisher:
   • Standard Gemini models → /generateContent
   • Mistral models → /publishers/mistralai/models/{model}:streamRawPredict
3. Format request body according to model type:
   • Gemini → Vertex AI format
   • Mistral → OpenAI-compatible format

Option 2: Create Separate @ai-sdk/vertex-mistral Provider

Create a dedicated provider package for Mistral models on Vertex AI:

import { vertexMistral } from '@ai-sdk/vertex-mistral';

const model = vertexMistral('mistral-small-2503', {
  project: 'my-project',
  location: 'europe-west4',
});

Option 3: Fix Custom Plugin Support

Ensure OpenCode/AI SDK properly respects custom doStream() and doGenerate() implementations in plugins without attempting to construct HTTP requests directly.

Current behavior:

• Custom plugin implements LanguageModelV1 with doStream() and doGenerate()
• Framework ignores custom methods and tries to call baseURL + "/chat/completions"
• Results in "undefined/chat/completions" cannot be parsed as a URL error

Expected behavior:

• Framework should call the plugin's doStream()/doGenerate() methods directly
• Only fall back to HTTP client if methods are not implemented

Benefits

1. Better User Experience: No need to run separate proxy services
2. Enterprise Use Case: Many organizations use Google Cloud and want to leverage Mistral models through their existing Vertex AI infrastructure
3. Cost Optimization: Vertex AI provides committed use discounts and simplified billing
4. Compliance: Some organizations require all AI APIs to go through approved cloud platforms
5. Consistency: Use the same authentication (ADC) and configuration as other Vertex AI models

POST https://{location}-aiplatform.googleapis.com/v1/projects/{project}/locations/{location}/publishers/mistralai/models/{model}:streamRawPredict

Request Format

{
  "model": "mistral-small-2503",

    {"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}
  ],
  "stream": true,
