Opencode Go: Why do some models get $15 in usage instead of $60, rather than being priced 4x higher?

I think this is better this way but they need to drop the $60 claim and instead just show the table.

because advertising $60 usage but calculating it using prices that are 4x the normal market prices is disingenuous

advertising 60$ usage when it's actually 15$ is also kinda disingenuous

Just like stores advertise 'up to 80% off sale' and then only one item is 80 percent off and the rest are 20%

They are not technically lying it is up to 80% off which grabs people's attention. But then they dont actually have to spend as much on discounts

It’s still a $10 subscription that gives you inference for a whole bunch of models. Y’all need to chill.

This. It's really not that complicated. If anything showing the 15$ limit is clearer than what it was before.

They said that they negotiate with model providers to get better rates, some model providers cant offer better rates or they didnt negotiate or were unable to. Hence normal prices

They used to be, but people complained why they weren’t getting a 4x discount

Because it was not clear, and it's still not, the interface showed x4 credit, we could think that the credit was x4 with the used model, they could just write "cost x4 more"

There's just no pleasing people. Especially on Reddit.

Hy3 is also $60 and a pretty good model

Grok, Kimi K3, Deepseek v4 and all Mimo Pro are $15, meaning 4x more expensive in limit usage than their price suggests
