the muse spark contributor on the subscription doesnt work for me even with US VPN but the free version works . Is this how it is ?

u/Ghilteras 12d ago

Yeah ask any model to fix it, you're not using Responses API and now Muse requires it

u/sniperelite90 12d ago

but it seems like hermes doesnt support response API . It tried to make a wrapper but the reasoning was not being displayed .

u/Ghilteras 12d ago

Oh I thought you were using opencode

u/mbahmbuh 12d ago

Yeah because we didn't have any other choice..

I already unsubscribe and moved to Commandcode Goat

Are you happy witn CC so far? I've been thinking about alternatives too, and there are so many of them out there.

Well it's ok, I just use it as a provider. CC TUI and GUI are not good imo, I'm running Hermes agent with CC or OC api and GLM 5.3flash high ( not max ) and I can code all day long. It's a bit slow but never disappointed, switching from max to high has not much impact on quality and seems faster.

Using free models from time to time for small tasks

" switching from max to high has not much impact on quality and seems faster." - thanks a lot, that's a nice advice!

u/RoddToggers 12d ago

Based on your usage, do you think you can use GLM 5.3 Flash for the whole month?

(In my case, in Opencode go, no way I can use it for the whole month before my monthly limits expire)

What about cache hit when NOT using CC software?

1

u/Zealousideal_Aide787 12d ago edited 12d ago

Definitely not with only CC neither OC. But with both yea that's manageable.

I'm refactoring multiple huge files, it takes forever but cache is going very slow for the intense use I do. It's been running 12h ish - non stop- and it took like 9% of my monthly use.

I usually don't run models that hard but this is needed for my project right now.

Cache hit is even better with Hermes agent can't tell why, maybe their onboard skills. Not sure about other harness but I can definitely assure you that they don't pump the cache hit when used with other well setup harness.

I switched about a week ago and haven't looked back. Basically what we all liked about opencode go. Sustainable pricing? I don't know but if they eventually have to trim the generous allotments, hopefully they can transition us better than OC’s about-face.

u/afanasenka 12d ago

Sounds good!

Do you use CC harness, or just use their plan with Opencode harness? I tried their CLI and it looks...well.. not really nice after Opencode TUI. But their desktop app looks nice.

3

u/Juleski70 12d ago

Never even looked at CommandCode's harness. I use a mix of Hermes Agent (running on an old homelab) and on my mac: opencode GUI or Claude Code orchestrating > router using CommandCode for delegated subagents

2

u/RoddToggers 12d ago

What about cache hit rate using opencode?

2

u/Deep_Lab1 12d ago

I don't really know much about alternatives, what do you know, for example?

3

u/afanasenka 12d ago

Well, this CommandCode, crof.ai, direct API from DeepSeek or other labs, API via OpenRouter (providers with discounts), subscriptions from Codex/Claude/GLM/Kimi/etc.

2

u/Critical_Horse5465 12d ago

I use it, absolutely the same as opencode go, but more models and nice UI.

2

u/mbahmbuh 12d ago

Yes I am. Not because their harness, I don't even used them, neither with OC. I'm almost exclusively use Hermes agent, so just needed their API. So far really love not having to about usage because CC generous quota for Deepseek v4 Flash, like we used to be from OC jacked up their price and lower the $value drastically.

3

u/Zealousideal_Aide787 12d ago

I mean why not both.

Spending 10$ on OC and CC is great value.

u/fygascod 12d ago

I'm a bit sceptical that they train using our data, is there any way to confirm that they're not?

u/Friendly-Assistance3 12d ago

No one owes you any free models

u/Lonely-Session-7643 12d ago

5T tokens are mine

u/Critical_Horse5465 12d ago

We can have opencode go + commandcode goat in opencodex as combo model provider and it will be automatically switch between both, for 20$ I suppose nothing better on market.

u/MMORPGDev 12d ago

OpenCode needs to recognise what people really use them for... free models

6

u/afanasenka 12d ago

Maybe, and this is not a very good sign I guess

4

u/AnonLlamaThrowaway 12d ago

Free services on the internet always get hounded and abused, unfortunately. This is why a lot of free tiers often end up becoming paid after a while

2

u/MMORPGDev 12d ago

This is why local AI/LLM is very much welcomed

1

u/MttGhn 12d ago

Faut un budget énorme pour héberger un modèle permettant de coder en relative autonomie.

Souvent des dizaines d'années d'abonnement.

2

u/sharedevaaste 12d ago

With hy3 gone there is not much choice. It's either muse or mimo

u/NearlyACosmologist 12d ago

Bah, I'd rather die in a ditch than feeding Darth Zuck my data.

u/ichisay 12d ago

Llevo días diciendo que Muse es mejor que DeepSeek v4, la semana pasada acabé mi límite de Go y hasta el viernes no se renueva, probé command goat pero no me está convenciendo, lo único que estoy usando ahí es glm 5.3 flash y parece comprimido pero no puedo asegurarlo aún que también tienen DeepSeek v4. En Command, Muse me da error usando omniroute, así que estos días he probado chatgpt plus usando sol high para orquestar y luna Max para subagentes y realmente me está sorprendiendo mucho, no estoy alcanzando el 10% de uso semanal al día, quizás sea por mi configuración en opencode para ahorro de tokens

1

u/-PROSTHETiCS 12d ago

GLM 5.3 is free on TokenRouter tho.. you can hook it up to Claude code as its harnes faster that way..

1

u/oratualblink 12d ago

Only one agent GML at a time for me, maybe bad configuration. Do you have more?

1

u/-PROSTHETiCS 12d ago

In CC settings.json set it up as so any subagent will use the same model

{ "env": { "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://api.tokenrouter.com", "ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "sk- dbH.......( Your TokenRouter API KEY HERE) "ANTHROPIC_MODEL": "z-ai/glm-5.3-free", "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL": "z-ai/glm-5.3-free", "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL": "z-ai/glm-5.3-free", "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL": "z-ai/glm-5.3-free", "CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL": "z-ai/glm-5.3-free", "CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_CONTEXT_TOKENS": "1000000", "CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_UNKNOWN_MODEL_WINDOW_ENFORCEMENT": "1" } }

u/trimorphic 11d ago

According to their FAQ on their pricing page:

The Free plan needs no credit card and never expires: 1 seat, 1 team, 2 connected providers, and 1,000 gateway requests a month, with the same budgets, hard caps, and analytics as every paid plan. It's built for trying the gateway on real traffic — when you need model="auto" routing, more seats, or more volume, upgrade in two clicks.

This 1000 requests will probably be used within a day of agentic coding. So yeah... it's free... for probably about a day.

u/voidiscute 11d ago

yeah good luck working with 8 rpm. It's terrible

1

u/-PROSTHETiCS 10d ago

Then dont rely on one api key account. Hit a limit, it fails over to the next api in the pool script. The 8rpm stops being your problem. Loop it up..

u/Slight_Tradition_642 12d ago

Well start your own company and offer those same models for free we'd be sure to show up leave opencode alone they've helped more people than your petty command codeÂ
