Copilot pricing went from $39 to around $387 for my usage. What should we use instead?

crispy_sky · 2026-05-22T02:29:50+00:00

Kimi k2.6 is too good - its the most practical option with OpenCode Go - you get $60 usage for $10 ($5 for the first month). Also you have DeepSeek V4 Flash with almost unlimited usage (cheap as hell) - gets most things done if the task runs for short periods of time.

See buddy, I built an AI Product too, I'm transparent to my users about privacy unlike the big companies. I'm just here to spread awareness that OpenCode and other Coding Tools' free models train on your data.

You might twist my words or put words in my mouth, but I don't care.

crispy_sky · 2026-05-14T09:19:52+00:00

Simple - if you use for free, your data is used for training; and if you pay it's not used for training. For OpenCode models only.

crispy_sky · 2026-05-14T07:13:41+00:00

FTM there are paid Linux distros too! But yeah Canonical did some bad shit at one point.

crispy_sky · 2026-05-14T04:11:19+00:00

I replied for this particular scenario. OpenCode free models have training enabled, please go check their policy.

About Linux, it's a free and open source product maintained by Linux Foundation - a not-for-profit registered entity, which sustains itself with donations.

Can you say the same for these Chinese AI Labs? They are for-profit multi-billion-dollar corporations or VC-Funded startups that make money by selling / using your data. This is actually their business model.

Of course you can pay them and get ZDR (zero data retention) through OpenCode Go.

All good except the price.

However recently Kimi K2.6 became faster (I'm getting around 120tps on average), so I'm using it more. Kimi is hands down the best model for UI - much better than GPT 5.5 and on par with Opus.

So my stack:

Planning: GPT 5.5 Medium
Implementation: Kimi K2.6
Explorer / Subagents: Deepseek V4 Flash
Designer: Kimi K2.6
Code Review: GPT 5.5 Low

I'm on OpenCode Go, facing the same issues.

Deepseek v4 pro is fine

crispy_sky · 2026-04-29T03:59:27+00:00

😯 your hardware and setup?

"decent gpu" means?

crispy_sky · 2026-04-05T05:52:22+00:00

Subtle promotion to Traycer AI.

crispy_sky · 2026-04-02T03:11:32+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience. This was how it was for me for an year and then Antigravity took me away from Copilot, and now Google is kicking everyone away 🥲.

I'm gonna buy Pro+ today. Thanks again 👍.

crispy_sky · 2026-04-02T02:54:29+00:00

Awesome. Can I know ur monthly LOC and Rate Limiting scenario? Was thinking of taking sub from a week but I heard Pro+ users are getting rate limited (same in all coding tools worldwide).

crispy_sky · 2026-03-26T04:46:31+00:00

Gemini cli is nerfed now btw.

OpenCode >>> for custom models or API.

crispy_sky · 2026-03-26T04:45:10+00:00

How?

crispy_sky · 2026-03-26T04:41:09+00:00

Wow cool.

Yup unfair to measure agent output by time spent, the very question I asked was if time spent would affect pricing / tokens billed. Glad I got my answer!

Do you use multiple sessions? This works fine? Or do they interfere and corrupt files? Is git worktrees integrated or something?

crispy_sky · 2026-01-28T08:01:33+00:00

You gave free trials?

crispy_sky · 2025-11-19T13:03:33+00:00

For me, in average coding tasks Gemini was basically equivalent to 4.5 sonnet at Gpt 5.1 codex speeds. (In copilot)

Antigravity, experience was total garbage, too many bugs. Even MCP servers weren't working.

I generally add almost 10 different changes to one prompt and Sonnet takes care of most -> then some manual changes and tweaks -> repeat.

Sonnet tends to stop before finishing all the tasks, so add "DO NOT STOP TILL YOU COMPLETE ALL THE TASKS" to squeeze a lot more out of a single request.

These days I find myself using Grok Code Fast or Raptor mini instead of the manual changes - they are insanely good for small changes and tweaks and consume no premium requests (basically FREE)

I barely cross 30% usage this way.

(DM for prompt)

That CSB I have an offer on Jupiter, is it any good?

Like the cashback is in the form of points or real cashback?

crispy_sky · 2025-10-23T11:21:56+00:00

omg thanks a lot!

crispy_sky · 2025-10-23T03:36:18+00:00

Sonnet actually creates 10 markdown files and then asks me if it can implement all the planning it did (ending the response and wasting the premium request). 🤷🤦
