OpenCode Now Supports DigitalOcean Inference Router for Intelligent Model Routing

DigitalOcean has introduced the Inference Router in Public Preview, aimed at addressing the inefficiencies and high costs associated with using premium AI models for trivial tasks by intelligently routing requests to the most suitable model for each task. This tool, which is part of DigitalOcean’s AI-Native Cloud, allows developers to optimize AI inference across different models without being tied to a single provider, thereby reducing costs and enhancing output quality. The Inference Router is now integrated with OpenCode, an open-source AI coding agent, enabling developers to make real-time, intelligent model selection decisions effortlessly. This integration simplifies the process for developers by eliminating the need for manual configuration and supports DigitalOcean Serverless Inference models directly. The initiative reflects a broader effort to embed DigitalOcean’s Inference Engine into widely-used developer tools, promoting intelligent, cost-aware model routing as the standard in AI development.
