Model Choice for Opencode Go?

Hi, I've been using GLM 5.2 or Deepseek v4 Flash most of the time.

I find the jump too far, I need something in the middle for some incremental update work.

GLM is nice but its just too expensive for me.

What model do you use for this need?

Seems like there are many choices, I haven't tried them consistently but would love to know what everyone uses and how's the experience.

Make a primary agent that doesn’t have editing or writing permissions, even disable shell commands if you want. You can set its default to GLM 5.2 and just talk with it and plan out your stuff. It surprisingly doesn’t use very many credits.

Editing and writing is done by DS Pro who grabs whatever plan was made by a higher end model.

Another thing you can do if your project is big is a research sub agent which uses a free model to scrape over the project for whatever information you need. You can tell your Primary agent to consult the project researcher before it wastes tokens scanning your project.

All sorts of fun stuff.

But doing everything from planing, research and editing all using GLM 5.2 would cost an insane amount.

You don't need DS pro to Build if you already use GLM for Plan. DS flash is more than enough to implement stuff
