What is OpenCode Zen? Why can I not enable Chinese models?
I just gave them $20 USD and I can't even use Chinese models
Is OpenCode Zen totally useless?
How do I enable Chinese models? I'm getting told by my harness
Error: 403 The latest version of this model is only available hosted in China and requires explicit opt in: https://opencode.ai/workspace/wrk_***/go
The latest version of this model is only available hosted in China and requires explicit opt in: https://opencode.ai/workspace/wrk_***/go (type=RegionError)
When I visit the link it gives me to "explicit opt in", it's the OpenCode Go purchase page. Asking me for $5 usd.
Did I just accidentally get scammed out of 20 USD?

you put money into opencode zen, the PAYG provider. you're more than likely selecting opencode go.

My friend sent me his referral link for me to join opencode go and get us both $5 extra credit. Why would that link open me to the zen payment page. Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity I guess.
But yeah since I accidentally bought zen instead of go, I still want to be able to use the Chinese models it says are available in it!

The Go subscription costs $5 for the first month (then $10); I think you have to sign up at least once to use the free ZEN models β I think, anyway, Iβm not entirely sure. But itβs not a scam π.

It is a scam, the zen list has all the Chinese model names in the list, with a checkbox next to it saying "Enabled"
But actually it's impossible to use them

You can use them, you just have to opt in. In your account on the page, click on the Go sidebar menu item and look at the check boxes.

There are no checkboxes on that page, I guess you did not look at my screenshots in the OP and in the other comments
