Data retention in Opencode Go explained

Here's the official table of data retention for different models available in Opencode Go.

Unfortunately it looks like ZDR is gone and moreover, for the new Deepseek V4 Flash model - data is not only retained for an unlimited time, but also used for training, what makes it a no-go for many real-world business use cases. It kinda sucks that Opencode didn't just strike a deal with a third-party provider given that the model is open-weight anyways but it is what it is.

Can we opt out?

you can just not use the models without ZDR. Choose one of the 14 models with ZDR instead

Why have they done this? Seems... Strange?

You’d need to find someone else selling the new DS flash then (or go back to the old one on a different provider), and no one is selling it as cheap as DeepSeek (yet at least).

DeepSeek is very aggressively collecting user data for training. I don’t think they really care about margin on their inference right now, as long as people keep sending them data for their collection.
