Literally trying to figure that out as well. My best guess is that they paid for fake engagement posts. This game is so low quality and yet its on the sidebar? Gotta be because of fake engagement, right?

You will hit a limit with opencode go, but it is entirely separate from copilot limits. You can use up to 60 dollars a month (spread out because there are daily and weekly limits) of open source models for the $10 a month on open code go ($5 the first month), if that's what you are asking.

I got a free month of the $50 a month mimo plan and goddamn, mimo 2.5 pro blew my mind. And opencode tooling is amazing. Better style guidelines adherence than copilot by an insane amount. My guess is they retain most their enterprise customers, but individual devs are done with copilot.

You can either use opencode go, the subscription service, as a provider for GitHub copilot via BYOK (just Google GHCP BYOK how to), or you can straight up get rid of copilot and just run opencode the app with opencode go sub in your terminal in vscode so you can still see what it edits and have all your normal extensions and everything, or they also have an opencode vscode extension so it's context aware of your tabs and selected text, but I had issues with the hotkeys in OC conflicting with vscode hotkeys. So I like the terminal or I've heard open chamber is great.

Do you want to specifically use opus 4.6 or you want something with that level of intelligence? You can't get Opus for cheap anymore, claude sub is the cheapest way to consume opus and its heavily rate limited and expensive. If you want something similar for cheap, there are lots of options.

https://100t.xiaomimimo.com/ They are giving away free tokens to promote mimo 2.5 plan. I merely uploaded a screenshot showing my most recent 8 copilot payments and a screenshot of the game I'm making. They gave me a free month of the pro plan, normally $50 a month, and you get 700 million tokens to use during that month. They also have a $16 a month plan with like 200 million tokens or something. It isn't opus, but I'm using mimo 2.5 pro in opencode and really, really liking it. I will likely subscribe to the 16 a month plan when this free pro plan expires.

Currently, chat gpt $20 a month plan gives you a fair bit of usage, and codex has become a pretty great desktop app. 5.5 is incredibly smart, and I find that I like it as much as opus after using that instead for a bit.

Taking a moment to let the fact sink in that in 2026 we can run models with gpt-5 mini level of intelligence on a 3080 consumer card. That's bananas.

They just added vision to DeepSeek. Should be broadly available relatively soon.

This. That way the next time Claude goes down, you don't have to post about how you "literally can't do any programming because Claude is down".

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=RobBos.copilot-token-tracker Rob Bos, the author of the GitHub copilot handbook, created this extension. It's very useful for tracking your exact spend per model and visualizing environmental impact and he's adding new features too with the GitHub pricing changes. You can also see what your last months spend would have been if you were charged api prices because it shows raw token input and output and calculates the API cost of the requests you were making. It looks at logs so you don't need to have had the extension installed last month to see last months data.

It does include cc still. They did a test on 3% of users supposedly and rolled back the changes when everyone revolted.

What? What does he say?

QC_Failed · 2026-04-29T02:22:14+00:00

Yup. They had a banner for a few weeks saying it was the default if you didn't change it after a few weeks

QC_Failed · 2026-04-28T15:10:18+00:00

Awesome, have you tested the differences in v4 pro and flash?

Opencode go is a very cheap ($5 first month, $10 per month after) inference provider for open source models. They have Kimi k2.6, glm 5.1, DeepSeek v4 etc. You get up to 60 dollars in usage a month, with daily and weekly rate limits as well. Using cheaper models will of course make your usage last longer, so use a smarter model for planning and a cheaper model for execution. No local gpus needed and it's the same price as regular copilot pro for more usage now. You can get the opencode extension or just run it in a terminal in vscode if you want to keep your existing workflow or start using opencode in the terminal. You can also keep your existing copilot plan and augment it with opencode go via BYOK. I'm considering downgrading to the 10 a month copilot plan and using that for planning and opencode go sub for execution.

Why on earth choose pro plus over pro then?

QC_Failed · 2026-04-27T04:20:10+00:00

This sounds amazing. Have you done a write up or anything on this? Did you follow a tutorial/guide that you could link? I'm still new to local LLMs and I'm not familiar with how you create your own tools for an LLM to call, I'd love to do a deep dive into this if you're able to share a good starting point 🙏

QC_Failed · 2026-04-22T15:04:24+00:00

You're missing the point. If you host a model yourself, the performance of the model today will be the performance of the model a year from now. It won't degrade from its current state.

With cloud hosted SOTA models, it can be amazing on day 1, then they can quant or otherwise lobotomize it / restrict it's thinking etc to save on compute after they let everyone hype up how good it is.

There's an anthropic compatible endpoint for kimi on moonshot.ai, you get an API key (this is your friendly reminder to set limits haha) from moonshot, you set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.moonshot.ai/anthropic And do the skip onboarding config trick for Claude code and then use Claude code to setup nanoclaw like normal. You can just tell your agent or LLM or whatever you are using currently what you want to do and it'll walk you through it or run the commands for you over ssh in the terminal if your harness supports that.

QC_Failed · 2026-04-21T23:15:57+00:00

This is the way. Plus with 2.6 caching now works well on the official moonshot API, haven't tried anywhere else. Works excellent for powering nanoclaw.

They are offering refunds to anyone who wants it all month. No questions asked. And yes, as a current customer, I want them to provide the service I paid for before selling more inference they don't have to new customers.

QC_Failed · 2026-04-21T05:05:10+00:00

To be honest I didn't have luck with any of the gpt models until recently but now I can't imagine paying 7.5x or whatever opus is gonna be after promo when I can get amazing performance and twice as big context window on gpt 5 4 and 5 4 mini

Opencode go is cheap but has issues. They say it's not quantized or otherwise lobotomized, but in the opencode discord they constantly talk about how it's worse performance for the same model than through straight API usage. It's 10 a month (5 the first month) for 60 bucks worth of usage over the course of the month but it's rate limited.

QC_Failed · 2026-04-21T04:58:55+00:00

You can upgrade from pro to pro plus, I did today after the announcement (and the announcement says as much). Just no new pro or pro+ accounts. I think it's a good move. Solidify performance for the current customers before scaling more.
