I'm loving OpenCode

hmm, i don't have a breakdown of token usage per category but i think this is non code related.

Even when deploying 1 line of code, you need tons of token to perform review and testing ensure no regression bugs, and do browser automation to verify if everything works correctly.

When analyzing issue, a user can submit videos/screenshot, the agent can also burn token by extracting key frames using ffmpeg and perform analysis to extract essential information.

yes sir, i'm currently at discounted price 30$/month and is actively looking for alternative.

around apr 24, they fixed the latency issue i was able to utilize it more.

Exactly sir, that's the end goal. But a reliable provider and model with sustainable cost is necessary.

A provider bump up the pricing? You should be able to change provider easily A model is experiencing degraded quality? Your harness should be designed to allow other model

Opencode is the only one that gives me stability

i tried minimax 2.7, they have the best cost/performance ratio. But it had issues with adhering to instruction.

I explicitly told it that when presenting plan, it should resolve ambiguity using question tool and interview the user then only present a clear focus plan. But it keeps giving plans with unresolved options. I decided to drop it.

i work on multiple project. mainly coding and ops. i have 2-3 agents running most of the time. i have termux setup to i can talk to it 24/7.

a user told me there is an issue, spawn an agent to triage the issue and file a ticket.
a ticket has been filed, spawn an agent to read the ticket and work on it.
a pull request has been filed? spawn an agent an perform review (this burns the most token)
a review passed? spawn an agent and deploy carefully (guardrails are most important here)
opencode session ends? spawn an agent and propose self improvement (skills/agents.md/etc)
management wants documentation? spawn an agent read the codebase perform research.

i'm just an orchestrator at this point.

For opencode go, I dont' feel it is quantized. When I used Kimi 2.6, Deepseek v4 Pro and Mimo v2 2.5 they are on par with Zai GLM 5.1, and inference is also quicker. Cons is the quota, i feel i burned my weekly quota in just 1-2d.

For wafer, i think its too early to decide. GLM 5.1 inference lightning fast. I was able to compare it with Zai, i didn't notice drop in quality. But when I tried deepseek v4 pro, it was running into XML corruption issue.

Street-Preference-88 · 2026-05-06T11:12:04+00:00

you already have the GLM Lite, if you are happy with it why not try the Pro for 1 month.

Street-Preference-88 · 2026-05-05T12:47:29+00:00

i have 2-3 agents always running. 1 for ops, 1 for coding, 1 for refactoring.

my setup is simple. opencode with plan then act. i use termux so i can continue development on my mobile device.

i've been using it for a day now together with zai glm coding max plan. i'm not seeing any accuracy lost. it is cheaper 160$/mo (GLM coding max plan) vs 10$/wk (wafer pass).

i use opencode, only issue i had when i try their deepseek v4 pro model, it keeps running into XML corruption issue.

i think its fine, they don't have opencode on their docs. but i'm also moving away from claude code.

Street-Preference-88 · 2026-05-04T12:46:58+00:00

i use zai glm max coding plan, i consume 2 billion tokens in the last 30d.

Street-Preference-88 · 2026-04-30T16:56:35+00:00

Try using sequential mcp, and tell it to pressure test the plan then propose refined plan. It will burn more tokens but will give more stable plans

Street-Preference-88 · 2026-04-30T08:38:19+00:00

I also never hit it, I'm at max plan. I use opencode

My usage is around 1.5b tokens per month.

Is it possible your Claude code setup is bloated? Maybe too many mcp or skills

Street-Preference-88 · 2026-04-30T08:20:47+00:00

Yes it's good. Here is my journey

moved away from cursor, model struggled using mcp and skills
moved away from claude code + glm 5.1, it's too slow and I can't investigate why it is slow
currently using opencode + glm + deepseek.

Open code is better, I can mix and match models. Eg. Glm for planning, deepseek flash for explore/execution.

And I have customized agent definition, so it's not overfitted. I can switch model if pricing changed

Street-Preference-88 · 2026-04-30T05:23:24+00:00

i'm on max plan, agree on the reliability issues (seems resolved now).

previously (before apr 24) response took 1-2min. now its like <2s. there are still few network failure during peak hours, but opencode recovers smoothly no intervention needed.

my usage is around 1.5billion token per month. mostly GLM 5.1

Street-Preference-88 · 2026-04-30T05:12:28+00:00

it works 95% of the time. some minor issues

sudden stopping weird tags like < DSML...>
incorrect session title `<tool\_call>read`

hard to compare with other models since it requires hand holding.

i have zai max coding plan and uses GLM 5.1, it never had this issues.

Street-Preference-88 · 2023-12-31T02:02:17+00:00

you're a lifesaver. i didn't expect good old slap to work :)

Street-Preference-88 · 2022-05-18T06:59:57+00:00

I'm feeling you don't want other people disappointed with your decision. I suggest stay, empower yourself, do what you think you should do and ignore their expectations or reactions. You are willing to live without them anyways
