What changed in OpenCode CLI v1.17.13, released 2026-07-01 β explained in plain English.
- Smoother AI Chatting: Fixed bugs with AI reasoning models and GitHub Copilot so your coding assistant doesn't freeze up or fail on follow-up questions.

This update is all about making your coding workspace feel smoother, more organized, and less frustrating. Whether you are using AI assistants to help you write code or working across multiple project windows, these changes make sure the app behaves exactly how you'd expect. It is especially helpful for developers who use Windows (via WSL) or rely heavily on AI tools to get their work done.
What's new
- Searchable AI Model Picker: There is a new, searchable menu in the "composer" (the area where you write and build code with AI) that lets you easily find and manage different AI models.
- Tab Hover Previews: When you hover your mouse over a session tab, a small preview box will pop up showing you the project name, file path, git branch, and server info so you don't have to click around to find where you are.
- Better WSL Setup: If you use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)βa tool that lets you run Linux on a Windows computerβthe setup process is now much clearer, with better checks to make sure everything installs correctly.
Improvements
- Smarter Window Tabs: When you open multiple app windows, each window will now remember its own set of tabs. If you close and reopen a specific window, only its tabs will restore.
- Prettier Layouts: The text formatting (Markdown) and message layouts in the chat interface look much cleaner and align better on your screen.
Fixes
- No More Lost Prompts: Previously, if you tried to minimize a question prompt or review it, the app might accidentally dismiss and delete it. Now, you can safely minimize and review questions without losing your progress.
- Isolated Crashes: If a single tab fails or runs into an error, it will no longer crash the entire app. The issue stays locked inside that one tab so you don't lose work elsewhere.
- AI Connection Fixes: Fixed a bug where the app sent outdated data to GitHub Copilot, which was causing follow-up questions to fail. It also forces "reasoning mode" (where the AI thinks step-by-step) to work reliably on custom AI setups.
- Less Digital Clutter: The app now automatically deletes old, empty draft files that were building up and taking up unnecessary space on your computer.
