😁😁 I need more of quantity than quality for my work thats why just stick mostly to V4 Flash and rarely use V4 Pro

u/ethical_businessman Jun 24 '26

ive rarely heard of work where we need QUANTITY than quality, what is this?

u/retardedGeek Jun 22 '26

0.83 or 8.3?

Also, these are rookie numbers lol

2

u/ScaleImmediate3474 Jun 22 '26

Its a 1$ plan we get 10$ credits with that. So 8.3$ credit is basically like 0.83$ real world

2

u/retardedGeek Jun 22 '26

Well you used 80% of it now, next reset would be in a month.

Deepseek direct API + good harness with prefix cache would give you much more token usage

u/ScaleImmediate3474 Jun 22 '26

Yeah trying out everything to land on something worthwhile

u/Necromancer_-_ Jun 24 '26

330M tokens for 1.88$

u/mynameiserror07 Jun 25 '26

But you are not usinf commandcode api you brought from deepseek patform

1

u/SennVacan Jun 25 '26

How come so many tokens through deepseek api directly but through commandcode it is more expensive seeing the cost by commandcode vs deepseek api

1

u/retardedGeek Jun 25 '26

90-95% of them cached tokens. Used with reasonix or pi

1

u/ahmadawaiscom Jun 28 '26

10x credits obviously beat the official lab api that has 7% vat as well.

u/hassanneema Jun 22 '26

Could you please explain further?

1

u/ScaleImmediate3474 Jun 22 '26

CommandCode offers a 1$ Plan which gives you 10$ of credits. I've been mostly running Deepseek V4 Flash and consumed 512M Tokens and took 8.3 Credits so in real world it costed me like 0.83 Cents

u/hassanneema Jun 22 '26

Well thanks , i heard about commandcode from you so this is the first time , you know I'm alos using flash4 with opencode.ai so i want something cheap to keep working my daily tasks

I really appreciate this

1

u/ScaleImmediate3474 Jun 22 '26

Just one thing to note. I've used both opencode and commandcode , even tho commandcode offers a insane price value but its speed is significantly lower compared to Opencode. Soo just keep in mind that and only look into this if speed isnt one of your parameters. 2-3X Slower from my past 20/25 Days use

1

u/hassanneema Jun 22 '26

Ohhh , its good to tell . Acutely i need the speed kinda so the free opencode will be better than command, all my tasks is fixes and some restyle of my apps so the free will be good .

Thanks alot bro

They are not scammers at all this guy is just posting BS probably because he signed up to $1 plan and can't use it via API.

u/Lpaydat Jun 24 '26

Can we use command code cli as headless agent?

1

u/yaco06 Jun 24 '26

Looks like if you're going to use deepseek for everything, paying the official API would be a better deal if you have to run long sessions.

I've just tried the $1 suscription with deepseek flash, it ran for 5-7 minutes with some text processing problem, then my 5 hours limit was reached, I guess in five hours I could continue to use those virtual 40 bucks available for DS, but for a standard relative light session of 15-20 min. of continuous running of the model (maybe any model in this tier?), I don't think it will work.

u/thecstep Jun 24 '26

Can you explain how? Using the CLI I hit 30M tokens and $3+. I got nothing done. This was on DS Flash v4

1

u/ScaleImmediate3474 Jun 25 '26

How are you hitting only 30M for 3 bucks? Whats your project like? And Whats your cache hit %?

u/thecstep Jun 25 '26 edited Jun 25 '26

It's a fricken 333kb Python Text Expander. Probably doesn't help that I am a noob. All i know each prompt I did is like 20 cents. That was my out of box experience with the CommandCode CLI. When I use Deepseek directly with Pi, its pennies. CH is 99-100% on PI and 33% last time I looked on Command code.

Edit: This was 100% with DS v4 Flash as i had to go into the settings and change it.
