OpenAI GPT models reject Desktop image attachments sent as application/octet-stream

[p3trich0rX]

Description

When I attach an image while using any model in the OpenAI GPT family in OpenCode Desktop, the request fails with:

file part media type application/octet-stream functionality not supported

This occurs across the entire GPT model family, not just one specific model. The image appears to be sent as application/octet-stream instead of its actual MIME type, such as image/png.

The same image can be accessed when I provide its full local path and ask the agent to read it. Only direct attachment through OpenCode Desktop fails.

Expected behavior:

The image should be sent with the correct MIME type and passed to the selected GPT model.

Actual behavior:

The image is sent as application/octet-stream and the request is rejected.
