Netlify announced Agent Runners adds OpenCode and AI model controls on August 6, 2026.
What changed
Through a new partnership with OpenRouter, you can now choose OpenCode as an AI agent with Agent Runners. OpenCode allows you to choose many different AI models, including Kimi, DeepSeek, and GLM. Learn more about our OpenRouter partnership through the Netlify blog on open models. Previously, you could only choose Claude, Gemini, or Codex as your AI agent, but now you can choose the OpenCode agent, which offers even more models from different AI providers. Requests made through OpenCode are only routed to model providers with a Zero Data Retention (ZDR) policy, so your prompts and outputs are never stored. AI model selection As part of this release, you can now also specify which model any agent uses with Agent Runners. Previously, Claude, Gemini, and Codex agents all automatically chose a model for the task you prompted with Agent Runners. Agents can still auto-select a model for you, but now you can also choose different models for your agents, with these preferences saved just for you on your device. This means you can experiment with which AI models best fit your needs. To open your AI model options for Agent Runners, select agent near your prompt box. Choosing the best AI mode
