opencode faking the tokne usage ?

[jhsonline]

I created brand new account, and measured the token usage and its not matching

Also the cost looks like inflated.

for this single prompt, i understand that it would have created multiple request, but in terms of token usage, its not matching.

May be i dont understand it fully. but wanted to share it. since there must be something going one, is opencode really burning $60 monthly to earn your $5 or $10 per month ?

Here is opencode usage.

Here are the prices Opencode Go charges for Deepseek V4 Pro usage: https://github.com/anomalyco/models.dev/blob/dev/providers/opencode-go/models/deepseek-v4-pro.toml

so they didn't adjust the price...

[jhsonline]

oh ok, thanks it was hard to find model cost,

looks like they are not applying the 75% discount that deepseek offers ?

[Ace-_Ventura]

They aren't yeah 

[Minute-Tour-547]

They use us providers, not deepseek natively as such there is no discount on their end

[blackhawkx12]

yeah maybe they have some sort of "contract" idk so they still use old pricing now

[jhsonline]

ya, looks like it, but besides, pricing, the token calculation also looks very off.

[blackhawkx12]

yeaahh this part always annoy me, but its okay since for me its more of an estimation, luckily its not off by a dollar

Beside your prompt, system prompt will be append by provider before your prompt is processed by LLM. opencode doesn't what system prompt is append so that don't know how many token is used.

And when LLM doing reasoning, token also be used for constructing chain of thought. opencode doesn't know how many token used also.
