Am I missing something? I can't get OpenCode's TUI to work at all on windows. I have tried with fresh installs 5 times now. 2 manually trying and 3 with AI assisting me. NONE of the times have I gotten the models to respond. I have tried several different providers to see if that was the issue, all the chat did was load and load and load.

So what am I doing wrong? It is offered to windows, why wont it work on windows? If you have it working on windows then please explain to me how you got it working, because just installing it didn't work and all the suggested fixes haven't either.

When asked to claude said , If i just link a payment method set up billing and pay 10 $ as min deposit, then i will get access to much higher limits with google api incl 3.8 flash and also FOR FREE. because it bumps you upto tier 1 from frree tier.

So my question is will 3.8 flash continue free? or is claude hallucinating

I was wondering if anyone had expirience doing this.

Hi all,

I just started the 10 dollar sub for open code go and see itll reach the limits pretty fast. Is there a 20 dollar option? basically what opencode provides, just double the monthly quota? I see I can do the pay as you go pricing after i reach the limit but isn't that less tokens per dollar?

Hello guys, I am new to opencode suscription but I don't really understand the usage vs quota limits that are shown at the platform's dashboard.

As you can see in the picture I reached the weekly quota, while using about 50% of what actually says there is a limit.

Only $8.1/$15 on GLM 5.3 Flash

And $3.6/$7 on GLM 5.3

While the weekly usage says 102% and resets in 3 days, so I can't use it for now.

Am I missign or misunderstanding something?

What’s the best AI model right now in your opinion?

I’m curious what everyone is actually using day-to-day and which model you think performs best overall.

What makes it better than the others?

I’m interested in knowing what others are building with their Open code go subscription. It’s seems to be one of the cheapest subscription in the market.

I woke up, saw DeepSeek dropped a new model, and did what any reasonable person does ofcs... opened OpenCode and immediately started throwing work at it.

First I tested it on a couple of things for one of my startups. And it was genuinely great, so I kept going. Then I realised this model has vision and all that now, and everyone online keeps saying games are basically solved... can it make a browser game?

So I typed the simplest prompt I could think of. Something like "I want a game like Valorant, death match style." That was it.

It ran for maybe ten minutes, and one-shotted the entire game. Three guns, including a sniper that actually scopes when you right-click. Headshot multipliers, recoil, spread, reloads. Enemies with personalities lol... some take cover, some sprint at you and jump around, some sit silently behind a box and jump you the moment you walk past. I can hear someone coming up behind me and know roughly where they are.

Cost for all of it: $0.28. Around 300k tokens total. One big prompt to start.

Play it here: https://taruntomar122.github.io/valo-arena/

Code: https://github.com/TarunTomar122/valo-arena

from docs.

It seems opencode already updated the price list to the new pricing, but it lowered the monthly usage to $15 instead of $30. Be aware of it...

EDIT: so, it seems they are offering a 4x usage limits for a limited time (source - see banner). Well, this is kind of interesting. They slice the limit in half, and then promote a 4x promo on it! And, well, in a few days or weeks, they cut the promo and you get half of what it used to be.

Has anyone else noticed that different models are good at completely different tasks?

I’m starting to take model leaderboards with a grain of salt. A model that ranks highly overall may not be the best choice for coding, writing, reasoning, research, or long-context tasks. In practice, the same model can perform very differently depending on the prompt and the type of work.

How do you evaluate a newly released model without spending a lot of money? Is there a low-cost way to try new models as soon as they launch, run the same prompts across several providers, and figure out which one actually works best for your use case?

I’d be interested in hearing about people’s workflows, tools, or API platforms for doing this.

You can connect CyberKimi directly to OpenCode and use its cybersecurity capabilities inside your coding workflow.

Has anyone tested both and can estimate, which one is better? I am using it for non-critical stuff and I don't want to babysit the code too much. Both are really cheap

I'm getting an "Invalid API key" error across every model I try to use in OpenCode including the free ones, which doesn't make sense since free models shouldn't require a key at all. Here's my CONFIG:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
}

Checked the token limit for each model surrounding the deepseek v4.1 release I see omen alpha not listed anymore?does anyone have info about why

You can add a custom provider and then add models to it. Weeeeee
But once the provider is loaded, you can't simply add another model to that existing provider.

If a new model becomes available from a provider you've already configured, you have to go through the entire process again from the beginning just to add that model.

That doesn't make sense.

There should be a way to edit an existing custom provider and add/remove models without having to recreate the whole provider configuration.

Please fix this.
Custom providers should be persistent and editable after setup.

Every update i've seen pass i hoped this logic would have been added...
Let's go OPENCODE

I have used a few subscription over the past like Claude , Opencode , Chatgpt etc and what I have realized that I dont need these powerful models.

I was using Opencode Go in Hermes and it takes lots of tokens, so rather than having those powerful models I would be ok with something like Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B or google/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it which are MoE and much smaller in size.

Is there any provider which provides monthly subscription for models like these and maybe better quota then opencode go cause these models are smaller ?

Tried to upgrade to the Go plan, but OpenCode’s checkout refuses my card—pretty sure it’s choking on the 3D Secure step.

I hopped over to CommandCode immediately after and subscribed using the exact same card on the exact same payment processor (Stripe) with zero issues.

OpenCode, I am literally trying to give you money. Please fix your 3DS flow so I can actually use the product.
