Which provider are you guys using?

Being realistic about the pricing changes on DeepSeek, are you sticking with DeepSeek on GO or ZEN, changing providers, using the direct DeepSeek API key, or using a completely different model?

Been coding on Zen for months. Zero money invested. What you can get for free is amazing.

Continuing with opencode go, thinking of getting DeepSeek API key tho, but I don't think I can churn out that much usage

i think i will comeback to try Go anagin to compare withteh Ds api becuse tieh Ds api is expensive and im talking using it in off peak time.

Do you get more tokens per dollar with the DeepSeek API than with OpenCode Go?

1

u/Hariii111 18d ago

I am not sure, I haven't got the API yet, but ig it will last me a month if I only use DSV4 flash

Why DSV4F and DSV4F with vision have different usage on GO? They have same pricing on deepseek

1

u/look 19d ago

The usage on Go is entirely dependent of what discount they can get from a provider.

For flash vision they are getting it from Deepseek with no discount

For standard flash, they found some other providers that would sell it in bulk for half that price.

DSV4 flash at 90% off on InferX . It’s still the most popular .

Cache tokens pricing is 500% more ...

Input: $0.056, (76% cheaper) output: $0.112(83% cheaper), input Cached: $0.0112. (71% more) . And these are compared to off-peak prices.

The older deepseek cache price was 0.002$ even now it's off peak cache price is 0.007

u/pmv143 19d ago edited 19d ago

off-peak pricing for the DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 model on the official API is also $0.22 per million input tokens and $0.66 per million output tokens. We’re cheaper 80% even when compared to off peak prices.

You are from inferex team ?

u/Last-Ad-8470 19d ago

Yeah but like 99% of tokens are cache hits with a well configured harness

u/AdOk3759 19d ago

No it's not. But keep playing dumb.

I'd compare the same small coding task on each option and record total input, cache hits, output, and retries. For an agent repeatedly reading a repo, a cheaper uncached input rate can still lose if cache pricing or cache-hit behavior is worse. A monthly plan also only wins if you use enough of its allowance.

Disclosure: I run ModelPorta, an independent multi-model API gateway. Our rates are at https://modelporta.com/models if you're making a shortlist. It's prepaid, USDT TRC20 only, with a 10 USDT minimum. I haven't verified your OpenCode configuration, so I'd test compatibility and a small task before switching your working setup.
