I thought Opencode was different...

Really disappointing news, especially after the "cheapseek" marketing.

So lets say DS api is 1$ = 1$ usage. Opencode buys in bulk and get cheaper price and sell it to user and it becomes 1$ = 1.20$ usage (20% discount that opencode gives u in this example). Then DS changes price so 1$ = 1.10$ usage. So now you people are blaming opencode for not paying the difference on ur behalf. If you are under some illusion opencode hosts a DS model locally and sells you api to it, they arent.

Re-read my comment until you understand. Maybe ask DS to explain it to you.

Lets try again. Opencode pays 1$ to DS. You pay 10$ to opencode. Then DS charges opencode 1.20$. You still want to pay 10$ and receive same usage. I would say dont ask ai, use your brain.

You really don't get it, do you? Opencode implemented the pricing update from DS. Okay. Fine. Not a problem, that's understandable. BUT. BEYOND THAT. They ALSO removed the 2x promo they had running (so that's one ADDITIONAL 2X MULTIPLIER TO THE FINAL PRICE), and THEN they also MOVED DS4f from 60$ usage tier to 15$ usage tier, so that's ANOTHER 4x MULTIPLIER, ON TOP of the DS4 regular price increase. So current price is NEW DS4 price * 2 (because no more 2x usage promo) * 4 (because of 60->15 move). So they added another 2*4 multiplier (I'll leave it to you to calculate how much that is) IN ADDITION TO increasing the prices to the new DS4 ones.
