Merge Gateway Brings Model Switching to OpenCode

Gateway’s strongest pitch is operational control, not merely model aggregation—it turns model switching into infrastructure instead of repeated configuration work.

• –OpenCode users can browse Gateway’s full `provider/model` catalog and switch models from the native picker.
• –Tool calling works when the selected vendor route supports it, which makes capability checks essential for agentic workflows.
• –Automatic fallback and routing by cost, latency, or quality can reduce outages and manual model selection.
• –Centralized logs, budgets, and routing decisions give teams visibility as coding-agent usage scales.
• –The tradeoff is an additional paid intermediary: Pro pricing adds a 5% fee on top of LLM costs.
