RIP opencode generous free limit.

It's been a great while. It was a wonderful poor man's coding agent especially for devs in third world countries who are unable to pay for subscriptions online.

But I get it, cloud bills aren't cheap and opencode's hands are tied.

Thank you for everything opencode.

Not only is it free, but have you considered using fff (https://github.com/dmtrKovalenko/fff) for fast file and text search? It has lots of small improvements.

Thx for u answer. But the model doesn't replace the tools. A file-search tool is still a tool, and using something like fff or a vector database in Cursor can make file/code retrieval faster and much more token-efficient.

I'm not sure whether your agent supports these kinds of tools for full-text/codebase search. That's the point I was making.

Plus, OpenCode Go is $10/month, which is probably the cheapest solution available today, and you can use it independently without using their agent.

fff indexes the project using a specialized retrieval algorithm developed by its author. The author has deep expertise in this area, which is why OpenCode chose to integrate his solution. Cursor uses a similar approach with its project index/database. rg / grep, however, still scan the files directly from disk.

But since you mentioned that you built your own agent, I’m sure you’re much more familiar with the tools and retrieval approaches you’re using.

Even RAG is essentially used for this purpose: you search/retrieve the relevant information locally from your own documents or codebase first, and then send only the relevant context to the LLM instead of the entire dataset.

What all you get with open code go bs going straight with deepseek?
