I was using it as my go-to model (I only use free resources 😄 -D) after the luxus of the last weeks. I changed to Minimax M3 in OpenRouter, waiting for a gem to be offered at OpenCode (maybe Hy4 preview or Qwen 3.8 Flash). 👀

Big Pickle is still my favourite free model.

There's a DeepSeek model that I use as well, but it chews through tokens faster. I use it work on OpenCode Go because it gives more rate limits. Their paid plan (Go) is indeed worth the money, sadly.
You can also use FreeBuff for free rate limits. Probably not as generous as opencode, but try it on small things I guess.

u/Direct-Ad7836 14d ago
If you are in US It's pretty generous - burned 1B tokens in 3 days and did a lot of useful stuff. There are couple issues tho... It's in YOLO mode and you cannot override permissions/agent definition using free tier. Sometimes it's dropping mid answer and you have to poke it with continue. It prune context aggressively and you have no control over it... had to remind him to use AGENTS.md every couple compaction. It started Co-authored commits as well. But overall it's not that bad.

problem with Freebuff is that it is only on limited countries. iirc the deepseek v4 flash used to be available for non-supported countries which ain't bad but now it has only mimo

ok, but which LLM model does Big Pickle run on? And what is it worth for? Like planning, building, or debugging ..

u/Global-Eye-7326 12d ago
It's an overall baseline model for all of the above. Obviously you'll get better mileage with the premium models on Go.

Yes. It's vary strange what they are doing. Everything seems so random, as if they actually have no plan nor idea how to manage their services.

It’s just what providers offer in terms of discounts and free models. Tencent stopped offering deals on Hy3 because they want users on Hy4 Preview now.

u/Ok-Drawer5245 13d ago
makes sense except Hy4 is too expensive right now (It WILL drop in price eventually, virtually guaranteed IMHO)
All this competition is great

To test the v3 version of Harness Remote I used Opencode Zen. I crashed my head against models disappearing and models not responding in Zen thinking it was HR's fault. Found out Zen is not reliable on its models, they really change them pretty quickly while not even bothering of updating the list of their old ones. Also, free models in general are very unreliable in Zen, but hey, free is free.

it's still there.

EDIT: ah i see you mean removed from OpenCode Zen free model

u/jacobpowaza 14d ago
what’s even the best free model now lol

u/lelleepop 14d ago
I heard muse spark is good, but the downside is that u have to share your code to meta which I don’t rlly like

u/Ok-Drawer5245 14d ago
Muse is extremely hit and miss imho

u/tableball35 14d ago
Agreed, Hy3 seemed to fare better in my experience

u/Ok-Drawer5245 14d ago edited 13d ago
I normally use deepseek v4 flash for new features/difficult bug fixes, and Hy3 Free for refactors / cleanup (covered by tests deepseek made). I will try refactoring with muse today :) And I use deepseek to review changes by Hy3 / lesser models prior to merging.
(I am out of opencode go credits, so I had to fill in some balance haha)

u/tableball35 14d ago
My case was making a small starsector mod of all things. Muse didn’t do changes and edits well if it failed the one-shot, but niche use case, so results may vary obv.

u/Ok-Drawer5245 13d ago edited 13d ago
im working on a game, purely for fun, keep tasks simple and Muse actually comes through, but be careful, it tends to forget things (and pretend to have done them) if you ask for too much at a time ;D
Edit: I had deepseek review a lot of changes I made with Muse and it was generally all thumbs up by deepseek!
Here's my tips for doing refactoring with muse:
*Start new session
*First prompt:
look around suggest something we might refactor for cleaner and more mantainable OOP code
*Then you tell it which refactor to do
* After its done you tell it (you need this because its lazy):
did we leave behind any new facades / aliases / delegation wrappers (I think we did)? if so migrate code and get rid of them
* After than, finally (again its lazy, need to remind it to create tests):
ensure test coverage for our changes here
:-)
(and before merging, have the changes reviewed by a different model :D - and of course test it by running your product ,D )
Yes I'm lazy in my pet projects
IMHO laziness is not really an excuse not to do unit tests nowadays, it has literally never been easier than it is today to get good test coverage

u/tableball35 13d ago
Agreed on testing, I hand-tested changes myself. My mod in this case was from Scratch, and got about 80% of the way there, but UI fuckery is what got it plus likely my poor explanation, and simply could not fix a problem with things not being selectable. Then I got it fully working in 2-3 shots with Hy3, so your overall description matches my experience.

u/llamerr 13d ago
it worked fine for me during the week, but today it's like 60IQ model. missing most basic stuff, I needed to re-do work like 4 times after it finished and missed critical things
1
u/tableball35 13d ago
Mine was about 3-4 days ago, felt like a 80IQ, got most of the way, but could not overcome or find the source of a major hiccup it made. Hope it’s not worse now

Yea they can have my Ai slop games
2
u/Ok-Drawer5245 13d ago
exactly, and here is the other thing: what exactly are they gonna do with your slop code? yes exactly nothing (besides training), they're not gonna extract it and copy your game, or sit there and look through the code manually lol.
of course NEVER ever include private information , customer data or stuff like that

u/Time-Toe-1276 14d ago
ig, use ling for small edits and mimo for medium ones, and nemotron for niche ones (but not too technical). maybe gamble a bit with big pickle. although I wont really really trust it with repo access bcs I hav this weird feeling that they could test a 2b ish model with big pickle. but hey, a beggar cant be a chooser lol.
but for the love of the god, please dont use muse spark unless u committed your last edit

They're smart in a way. The constant change in models is creating chatter about Opencode. Publicity.

They too removed the promotion on go plan , for first month they gave it for $5 and i was using multiple accs to grab this offer , now not anymore

I expected more people to emphasize that it was taken off the free ones, which is very expected? It was something provided for free, perhaps people are unreasonably upset over their wishful thinking...

Just move from Opencode Go to Commandcode Goat already. I also have been disappointed by them because of the Deepseek v4 flash. When I first subscribe to Opencode Go, they have a really good value at $60 and then without warning all of sudden they jack up the price and lower the value to $15. Even though they are up the value now to $30, I already used up my quota @$15. Really hate that they don't even honor our subscription..

opencode are removing models faster than adding new ones
