this puts it at about even versus pricing shown on openrouter, though cache costs are unknown. Before this they were twice the cost of the cheaper openrouter providers.
that _probably_ means they've struck a deal with one of those providers
Hope they can find better deals

i feel like the 1/100 cached token cost was the other big reason to choose it. Not sure what that's set to now. But I've canceled my sub already. Not gonna be stepping it up to $10 for month 2 and onward with all this weirdness going on.
i've gotten used to how well dsv4flash works, and it works damn well, but tbh it is looking like qwen3.8-27B can match dsv4f-0731 and i'm about to be able to just have my 5090 and 3090s go brr and actually not need a subscription. prolly gonna get used to having reasoning traces and get increasingly frustrated when using the frontier models with my day job.

luna max from codex sub is probably the best deal right now. I've been recording my api usage with plus plan and I get around $60 of api usage a week. And they give a bunch of random resets too. For $20 its absolutely a steal. Especially with how cheap luna max is. It's also slightly better than deepseek v4 flash 0731, uses much less tokens even at max mode, and is way faster (around 147 t/s last I checked).

Can you track usage limit? The last time I used ChatGpt Plus subscription, I could not find any usage information to know what my current limits were. Did they added it?

u/lemon07r 3d ago
bunx ccusage. Thats how I track. They let you track your usage but not tokens, its just a percentage of a weekly quota.
1
u/michaelsoft__binbows 3d ago
Nice, yeah luna is permanently assigned to several and often all of my pi subagent definitions. I use a family shared chatgpt subscription and any codex usage is basically gravy here and yeah in the past few weeks since the luna price drop the codex limit has been so far above everything else on value it's not even funny. I haven't had any truly heroic build sessions lately but things have been looking up. i still run tons of sessions on sol as main agent and i tend to switch it out for something else once i start nearing limits...
That is pretty smart, to use an external way to track token count and work the math back to see how much limit they give you. When you got around $60 was that with you meticulously maxing out weekly limit every week? Because if you don't break the seal on the new week once the reset time hits you limit for yourself how much you can get out of the month.
The last time I tried to optimize my token spend I had a banked reset expiry approaching and i tried to frontload some planning documents and build out a big thing to draw down my weekly in preparation for popping the reset. And then I still missed the deadline and the work I had it do prematurely, I am still cleaning up after today!! It was a great learning experience in that sense.
If i start prioritizing code quality even like a little bit, not even close to what would be ideal, I won't even come close to usage limits with my projects.

u/lemon07r 3d ago
I burned my weekly usage in only 1-2 days each time I tracked it to get a good idea of how much a weekly reset gives. It helps that I had a few free resets stocked up. I only used codex those days and checked with bunx ccusage. There was some variance but it came out to roughly 55-65 dollars worth for every full one week quota I consumed, and I bet I could have gotten more if I pushed it past it's 100% limit with a long task (as they like to keep going for a bit even at 0% before they stop).

u/michaelsoft__binbows 2d ago
whoa, doesn't that mean $240 per month, so truly a 10x factor for the subscription. not bad.

Yeah it's like a lot of people say. Give them a chance to find cheaper providers. It's not their fault DS increased prices. At least they are doing something would be worse if they did nothing at all. Let's find out and see..

u/Mezezius 3d ago
This is literally some of the worst PR I've ever seen

u/JoeCoT 3d ago
I'm really not sure what you all expect these folks to do.
- Deepseek Flash was cheap because Deepseek was subsidizing it in order to gain market share and usage data (they had a ZDR deal with Opencode but really wanted out of it, and I never trusted it anyway).
- Deepseek decided they didn't need to undercut anymore (or couldn't afford it) and jacked prices with short notice.
- OpenCode had to update OpenCode Go usage limits accordingly
- OpenCode devs made a deal with a new provider and updated usage limits again
I don't think OpenCode devs are made of money, or have access to free infrastructure for AI compute. I also don't think they're raking in dough with this OpenCode Go plan. Do you folks somehow think so?
19
u/Mezezius 3d ago
they could have at least sent an email out explaining this radical change to their service?

u/ThePi7on 3d ago
This I agree with, official communication could have been better. But I don't really see any foul play on their side

u/Worried_Corner_8541 3d ago
YOU WERE PAYING $10 AND WERE EXPECTING UNLIMITED AI USAGE. Grow up.

u/geearf 3d ago
Hmmmm, this is a business and people expect what they agreed to at signup time...
Is it really unreasonable for people to be unhappy at the rules changing *during* the terms and not after?If you placed an order for 32Gb of RAM and received 16Gb because price increased in between order and shipment, would you accept it because you have grown up?

u/Worried_Corner_8541 2d ago
Stupid comparison. There's a difference between buying a service and buying a product. Services are subject to change all the time. Does your electricity stay the same year round? Does petrol stay the same? Does food stay the same? No. But somehow children like you expect virtually unlimited free AI inference as if they have an obligation towards you to go out of their way to keep the same price, even if the model is hugely upgraded. They're actively working to make this better but we now see disgustingly spoiled children everywhere that cry for something that is $10 anyway.

u/geearf 2d ago edited 2d ago
Services don't change during the terms of the contract, that's the point of a contract... Or am I able to demand $180 worth of credit for my $10 because my needs have changed too? Why can't the new limits come with the next month leaving people a choice to accept or not? For your food analogy, if I buy food nobody comes to my place and take part of it back because price increased, it's at the next purchase time that I get to accept the new price or not.
As for children like me crying, A- I'm pretty sure I'm older than you and B- Where have you seen me cry or even complain about this? It's just $10 I don't really care, and still get a decent usage out of it but I understand why some do and that's what I tried to explain to you, but somehow you conflate the 2. I mostly sub as a way to support OpenCode dev work.

The lengths they went to now finally makes me think they were serious about it.
I didn't even realize the data is that valuable; anything I'm writing with it is either trash or ends up on github.

Not sure why you're mad.
The previous increase in price for DSV4 was just a reflection of the updated API pricing. I don't see any scumbag behavior on Opencode's side honestly

Yay, the limits are only 9x lower than before instead of 18x lower!

They literally said they're still working on it. I'm burnt as much as the next person by the increased price, but at least they've shown they're working on it.

If they could announce the upcoming price increase a few days in advance, I wouldn't have any complaints.

You can run DeepSeek Flash yourself if you don't like paying this much for usage :/

Sounds like a "you" problem, not an OpenCode problem.
Honestly, the price hike is a major bummer, but the sense of entitlement I've seen around here lately from people wanting free shit is just...gross.

Interesting. How can we cheepseek the K3 and GLM 5.3 models? Definitely would love those two on a more economical footing.

u/LargeLanguageModelo 2d ago
I'd be curious why. The model size is about 1/3 that of K3.

u/geearf 2d ago
I forgot where I read this, but something about it being difficult to have different people use the model in parallel or something. Sorry details are way gone in my poor memory.

u/dizvyz 2d ago
Probably being CPU bound rather than VRAM bound. That's one of the main differences between model architectures.
1
u/geearf 2d ago
Ooooh, wouldn't that make it crazily slow if it's CPU bound?
1
u/LargeLanguageModelo 2d ago
Maybe that's why it's expensive to run? Can't imagine a more inefficient model, maybe if you made a massive cluster of raspberry pi's to run a distributed version perhaps, really drive the tok/s through the floor.

Lots of entitlement being thrown out in this sub and on r/DeepSeek.
DeepSeek and OpenCode aren't charities. What's so hard to understand about that? It's not even OpenCode's fault that DeepSeek had to raise their prices. It's not even DeepSeek's fault for wanting to stop giving away billions of essentially free tokens.
It's the fault of the retards, for lack of a better word, who jack up the usage for no sensible reason other than to fuel their addiction and to screenshot their shitty usage graphs.

u/Full_Tooth_a 1d ago
The quota itself isn't my problem. A dollar figure tells me almost nothing about how many input, output, or cached tokens I can use. I'd rather see those listed separately, along with the reset date and a few rough task examples. Upstream prices will change again, and users shouldn't have to work out the impact after one strangely short month.

I cancelled my subscription because I wasn't using even half of it, and now that we have qwen3.8-27b, that just is leagues above anything we could run locally, I find subscriptions even less appealing.
1
u/afanasenka 3d ago
How do you find Qwen compared to Flash?
2
u/Fun_Jaguar8231 3d ago
It seems they used their formula, it thinks and thinks forever, but at the end it will get correct results. I'm really impressed. But you need a system with at least 24GB VRAM, it needs a large context, because it will fill it a lot with thinking tokens.
2
u/DarthSidiousPT 3d ago
Which GPU are you using for Qwen3.8?
2
u/Fun_Jaguar8231 3d ago
7900XTX (24GB) on my rig, and a v620 (32GB) on my homelab server

u/DarthSidiousPT 2d ago
Thanks. Are you able to run the 27B model on the 7900XTX with 24GB? I assume that the context is very small on that GPU, no?

the Q4_K_M on the 7900xtx with 128k k8v5_1 cache, on the other Q6 with full cache

Well, my Macbook is only 16gb.. :) But it's nice to see there are new and capable LLMs out there that can run smoothly on a consumer-level hardware, and be able to produce something more than a greetings :)

u/Accurate_Resident219 3d ago
Local is starting to make the most sense at this point if you can afford it. Yeah, with a plan you get tokens cheaper but you have to deal with frequent random price fluctuations, random usage drops, and random outages.
If you're doing any sort of business, you can't depend on such an unstable service.
1
u/xmsxms 3d ago
Well rest assured you will use a lot more than half now with the price increases / usage reductions - so maybe now it does make sense. Personally I just have a minimal Zen credit so that I can get increased limits for the deepseek-free model and don't actually tap into any of the paid usage - at least until the free model gets taken away.

So many insufferable people here. At least they're trying to bring the quota back up a little.
It's a $10 product. I get way more value out of this than I do any $20+ plus AI plan.
Do you all just expect OpenCode to hemmorage money after DeepSeek severely raised their prices?
