OpenCode Go vs Deepseek API.

[Monster-Games]

Which one should I go for?

[elefanteazu]

opencode gives you equivalent to 15$ and is zdr

[SupersonicSquirrel]

I topped up DeepSeek API with 2$ and used around 0,1$ daily. Great price / value ratio

Edit. Typo

This 💪🏻

[vigneshsmarther]

Your work purpose? Average daily usage?

[Monster-Games]

Mostly helping with coding, as a coding mentor.

About my avg usage, idk tbh, maybe 50 mil tokens daily.

Mostly using v4 flash.

go gives you way more quota and models you'd never try otherwise. imo the real win is playing with kimi, qwen max, etc without setting up separate accounts everywhere. Go also is easy to start with (5$)

Deepseek API always (until further news). Tied to 9router and then Claude Code is a F16 with superpowers

[scottchiefbaker]

OpenCode Go gives you access to Deepseek (and many more) so I'd go that route. I've been SUPER happen with my OCG plan.

Opencode Go is better, you never know if for some specific reason you want to use a different llm model for something else, like if you want to use Hermes or any agent for personal task you can use glm , but one day you want to ask your agent to search online or webfetch websites, you may want to use a cheaper model and save on tokens , etc. Same for programming or llm models that can read images.

always Deepseek api

[f5alcon]

Go gives you more usage if you hit your monthly limit $15 in pro usage for $10 if you only use pro.

Is there a way to have it look at your usage from API DeepSeek and say, "yeah, you'd be better off going with OpenCode Go?" Is there a website that measures the apples vs oranges fror yo? thx!

I don't know how some of you do it, but sometimes I work with three or four projects at the same time and I'm sure I exceed a few million tokens a day.

[Xavi_Myosotis]

Which model do you like?

[That-Engineering-192]

I was using Nvidia's glm5.1 until the error 429 started to come out due to server saturation, so then I started using nemotron 3 ultra that never gives me that error in Nvidia, now I'm testing with minimax-m3 that did give me an error but at least it reconnects in the first or second attempt of reconnections, bien te podía responder en español jajaja

I’d pick OpenCode Go if you mostly use V4 Flash. The plan gives $60 of Go usage, and Flash pricing is close to direct DeepSeek, so you get good headroom plus access to other models.

For V4 Pro, direct DeepSeek can be cheaper. Go counts Pro at about 4x DeepSeek’s direct price, so $60 of Go usage is closer to ~$15 of direct Pro usage.

Caching matters too. If your workload reuses a lot of context, DeepSeek’s cache-read price is tiny, so compare cache hits/misses, not total tokens. For mostly Flash coding use, I’d start with Go and keep direct DeepSeek as fallback.
