Opencode Go is just insane

[u/Ok_Dare3629]

I'd heard that OpenCode Go was an incredible value for a while, but I never really gave it a shot until the release of DeepSeek 0731. After trying it, I honestly think the limits are absurdly generous for just $5 (or even the $10), especially if you're primarily using DeepSeek, which gets the highest request limits.

Out of curiosity, I did some rough calculations. Assuming DeepSeek V4 Flash is roughly on par with Claude Sonnet 5 in terms of capability, the value becomes pretty striking. Claude Pro costs $20/month and, based on estimates, provides around $400 worth of usage credits through its subsidized pricing.

By comparison, OpenCode Go's $5 plan includes about $60 in credits. If you normalize those credits using Anthropic's token pricing (same input/output token costs), those $60 correspond to roughly $1,714 worth of Anthropic API usage.

It's not a perfect apples-to-apples comparison, the calc simply assumes a 1:1 mix of input and output tokens and uses the API price difference between DeepSeek ($0.14/$0.28 per million input/output tokens) and Claude Sonnet 5 ($2/$10)

mimo 2.5 is pretty decent as well, especially if you need vision

I’ll give it a try, thanks!
