fix: only send context-1m beta header for models with >200K context

[JoaoHenriqueBarbosa]

Context

The context-1m-2025-08-07 anthropic-beta header is unconditionally sent in all Anthropic API requests. This causes "extra usage is required for long context requests" errors for users on plans that don't include the long context beta (e.g. Claude Max plan), even when using standard 200K context models.

Fixes Kilo-Org/kilocode#6300

Implementation

Two changes in packages/opencode/src/provider/provider.ts:

1. Removed context-1m-2025-08-07 from the default anthropic-beta header in CUSTOM_LOADERS.anthropic() (line 106) — this header was being sent for every Anthropic API call regardless of the model's context window.

2. Added conditional logic in getSDK() to append the context-1m-2025-08-07 header only when model.limit.context > 200_000. This way, standard 200K models work normally on all plans, while 1M context models still get the beta header they need.

The check correctly differentiates:

• Standard models (context: 200000) → no context-1m header
• 1M models (context: 1000000) → context-1m header appended

No new dependencies, no refactoring, minimal diff.

Changed Files

• packages/opencode/src/provider/provider.ts — Removed context-1m-2025-08-07 from default headers, added conditional append in getSDK()

How to Test

1. Configure Kilo with an Anthropic Max plan subscription (or any plan without long context beta access)
2. Select Claude Opus 4.6 (standard 200K model)
3. Send a message — should work without the "extra usage is required for long context requests" error
4. If available, select a 1M context model — the context-1m header should still be sent (verified via debug logs or network inspection)

Overview

This PR moves the context-1m-2025-08-07 Anthropic beta header from being unconditionally applied to all Anthropic models to being conditionally applied only when a model's context limit exceeds 200K tokens. This is a well-targeted fix that prevents "extra usage is required for long context requests" errors for users on plans that don't include the long context beta.

Key observations:

• The header removal from the global CUSTOM_LOADERS anthropic config (line 106) is correct — it was previously sent for all Anthropic models regardless of context window size.
• The new conditional logic (lines 1034-1047) properly checks model.api.npm === "@ai-sdk/anthropic" and model.limit.context > 200_000 before appending the header.
• Edge cases are handled well: duplicate header prevention via includes() check, proper handling of empty vs. existing beta headers, and safe optional chaining on options["headers"].
• The model.limit.context field is a required z.number() in the Model schema, so no null/undefined risk.
• The 200K threshold aligns with the existing experimentalOver200K cost field in the Model schema.

Hey @chrarnoldus @markijbema @catrielmuller @marius-kilocode, could you take a look at this PR when you get a chance? Thanks!

[markijbema]

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to contribute to this project—we really appreciate it. 🙏

We are currently working on re-platforming the core of our VS Code and JetBrains extensions to be based on our new Kilo CLI, with a complete rebuild based on OpenCode as our new foundation, and the moment has come to promote this repository to become the main repository. To do that, we moved the code from this repository to the kilocode repository.

This unfortunately means we cannot merge this branch here anymore. Please add https://github.com/Kilo-Org/kilocode.git as a remote, and push your branch there and create a new PR in https://github.com/Kilo-Org/kilocode . We unfortunately cannot do this for you as then the PR would not be in your name anymore. If you need any help, feel free to ask on our Discord in #kilo-dev-contributors

Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for contributing to Kilo!

@JoaoHenriqueBarbosa since OpenCode removed the SDK support now anyway because of blocked accounts, we probably don't want to follow up on this anyway.

@marius-kilocode no problem! Anyway I feel happy to be considered and for your answers, thank you!
