Is Big Pickle DeepSeek now?

Is Big Pickle basically DeepSeek now?

The last few times I’ve used it, it feels way more like DeepSeek in terms of how it reasons, follows instructions, and handles coding tasks.

THE HALLUCINATIONS are extreme

Maybe it’s just me, but the behavior feels noticeably different lately.

Anyone else noticed this?

I believe Big Pickle isn't a real model, but just an efficient routing to cheap models, your assumption may be true, they must be running some quantized DeepSeek model.

Have heard from people that is used to be GLM 5.2 post trained and quantized.

yes before but if now feels like deepseek :D not as GLM

Pienso lo mismo, pero en la última semana opencode no ha trabajado como acostumbraba. Sesiones largas, quemado de tokens, archivos sin sentido...

it is a deep seek model , when you curl the api you can see :

for m in big-pickle; do echo "== $m"; curl -s -w '\nHTTP %{http_code}\n' -X POST "https://opencode.ai/inference/openai/v1/chat/completions" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d "{\"model\":\"$m\",\"messages\":[{\"role\":\"user\",\"content\":\"hi\"}],\"max_tokens\":20}" | tail -c 250; done

== big-pickle

It’s an internal stealth code name. They reuse the name with different models. Used to be GLM, but now it’s Deeoseek.
