OpenCode v2 Changes Web Search: Free Options, Prompts, and Native Console Support

dax ·

Key Info

OpenCode v2 changes how web search works for AI agents: it no longer gives all users automatic free search (as in v1 with Zen), instead asking whether to use free options the first time an agent needs search—unless you connect the new console, which enables native web search.

Highlights

  • In v1, Zen users got free web search automatically via Exa's free tier.
  • In v2, an agent asks you the first time it wants to search, letting you choose to use the free options.
  • If you connect the new OpenCode console in v2, web search is provided natively without the extra prompt.
