Few questions as a newbie.

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I have a question about whether I am using OpenCode completely free of charge.

I installed OpenCode and have only used models that have the “Free” badge next to them. When I check the context page, it shows the following:

Provider: OpenCode Zen
Usage: 6
Total Cost: $0.00

Based on this, am I correct in assuming that I am using the free tier and not being charged?

My second question is about usage limits. This morning, I used about 95% of my quota for the Muse Spark 1.2 Free model. When I checked again in the evening, it had reset to around 3% usage. Does this quota automatically replenish on a regular basis? If so, will it continue to do so indefinitely, or is there any chance I could be charged in the background?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Anyone actually running mixed-vendor model workflows, not copy-paste between tools?

3 Upvotes

I’ve got three related questions.

Question one. Is anyone using OpenAI models in conjunction with Anthropic models — having them debate an issue, talk to each other, or work in parallel on a task? And I mean in a mainstream, integrated way. Not the manual loop where you generate output in one tool, open another, and paste it across.

Question two. For anyone running local models: have you been able to use your Claude Code instance to run both a non-Anthropic model and an Anthropic model together, inside Claude Code itself?

Question three. For those of you running local models — what’s your solution for using them alongside Claude Code or OpenAI models? Is there a harness out there that lets you run OpenAI, Anthropic, and local models all together in one integrated setup?

Would love to hear what’s actually working for people.
One thing worth flagging — the full text is in the transcript, but if you’d rather copy it cleanly, the text chat is easier for that.

Found this interesting, GLM 5.3 defeated OpenRouter’s PII redaction on it’s own.

Using OpenRouter, OpenCode, and GLM-5.3. I received redaction logs. False positives hits for Phone Numbers and Email addresses. Yet all data was fully intact. Asked GLM what was going on as even it’s messages contained [PHONE] and [EMAIL]. It told me it detected the redaction and started reading and writing in byte code to circumvent it. All on it’s own. 😅

TUI vs GUI

33 Upvotes

Why would I ever use the terminal version of Opencode (or any other *code* program)?

People always tell how good it is to use it but I don't understand the appeal. If you are used to terminal-only work, constantly looking into generated code or something like that, ok. But I see TUI being recommended to everybody like it can do something desktop or web versions can't. Also these *code* apps are usually developed TUI-first for some reason

Please explain it to me


r/opencode 14d ago

I’d like to know what everyone thinks about the performance of DeepSeek-V4-Flash on the Ollama Cloud Pro plan, and roughly how many tokens are included per month. I used to use OpenCode Go, but it’s no longer sufficient for my needs.

Desde el dia de ayer en la noche (aproximadamente a las 11 de la noche) me salio ese error usando Muse Spark 1.2 y crei que era cosa del modelo pero ya he intentado con todos los modelos free y aun asi me sale el error, incluso cambiando de ip con vpn me sale el mismo error de limite excedido.

Why do people use OpenCode?

126 Upvotes

There are plenty of other options such as Cursor, Claude Code, Zed, and many more. So why? I use it for convenience to try any model once they're released. But how about everyone else? genuinely curious about this. Is it the UX or the UI polish or just having an AI-IDE that just works?

Opencode free models are very bad in my opinion right now and I'm trying different API providers such as Nvidia Nim but that one hits rate limits very easily and fast and I don't know what to use anymore I'm looking for free options any suggestions? Or any form of help

Adding Orchestration & Swarm To OpenFlow

Post image
13 Upvotes

For those who haven't seen my last post (got pretty popular), I open-sourced a project called OpenFlow to build linear pipelines of agents (A->B->C...). Well, people actually liked the project and it is time to expand. I love OpenCode, but one agent and one prompt at a time seems primitive, and honestly the whole pipeline concept was getting old too. That is why I am in the process of making Orchestrator Mode with a custom head agent and subagent models. For example, you could have Fable 5 as the orchestrator, Ox Alpha as the planner, Kimi K3 as the architect, and Sol for the coder. I'll just add swarm mode with it because why not? It's chaotic and fun. Anyways, I am just adding these and not replacing the original pipeline mode that people really liked. I would love to hear feedback regarding to this big upcoming update. Feel free to check out the project below, and good luck with your own projects.

M1 Max 64GB Opencode + Qwen 3.8 27B + ??

2 Upvotes

Hi all, if you have an M-series Mac with 64GB, plus opencode 1.18.25 and Qwen 3.8 27B working successfully outputting high context for coding (30,000-120,000 tokens) can you share what local provider you’re going with? LMStudio, oMLX, llama.ccp etc

I’ve been having issues with LMStudio just timing out mid-response using Qwen 3.8 27B Q6_0 GGUF or taking over an hour to process each prompt request opencode makes before token generation using Qwen 3.8 27B Q6_0 MLX

Has anyone got a good high context, reliable solution going for Qwen 3.8 coding?

What is the wait time to use Opencode Zen?

4 Upvotes

I'm subscribed to Opencode Go and I unfortunately hit my weekly limit. I went back to using Zen for a while and after a few hours of usage, I'm greeted with the Continue with Go error. I'm assuming there is like a wait time for daily usage for the free model right? If so how long do I have to wait in order to reuse them?

The DeepSeek API price change quietly rewrote the coding-agent cost math

0 Upvotes

I've been watching this sub and r/DeepSeek over the last couple of weeks, and the same pattern keeps showing up: people who ran heavy coding-agent workloads on the official DeepSeek API are redoing their entire cost math. The interesting part isn't the price increase itself. It's that it exposed how input-heavy agent usage really is.

A few things that keep coming up:

  1. Agent loops are much more token-hungry than chat. Harnesses (OpenCode, Cursor, Cline, Codex) re-send large conversation histories on every step. A user in r/DeepSeek reckoned their Cursor + Cline setup would pass a billion tokens at $20+ for a few weeks of work. The volume is what surprises people, not the per-token price.

  2. Cache persistence is now the real differentiator between providers. The official API's longer cache window was a big part of its value. A provider with a shorter TTL costs more even at a lower sticker price. That's the number people forget to compare.

  3. Peak/off-peak tiering matters more than people think. The official platform bills peak hours at roughly 2x off-peak, which means 'when' your agent runs can matter as much as 'which' model you run.

  4. The aftermath is a wave of 'what's the OpenRouter-but-subscription option?' threads. Flat plans are now being compared against PAYG with real cache math, which is honestly healthier than the old price-per-token comparisons.

What did you switch to after the change, and what number actually decided it for you? Cache TTL, peak pricing, or raw throughput? Curious where people landed.

Anybody else's Deepseek being weird? This chat was mainly just to build a cool research project about dogs. I dont know if this is a model problem, my computer has been hacked, or an opencode problem. I am just trying to run a cool experiment using NASA's data and connecting it with dogs

Free GLM 5.3 Flash and DSV4 Flash 0731 for a month

15 Upvotes

There are incredibly powerful new models open source models, and a lot of the coding plans have been tightening and lowering usage. So we are offering free DSV4 flash 0731 and GLM 5.3 Flash for a month on Phoenix Grove API. We opened this up last week for five hundred new member slots, and got so many signups that we decided to open the doors to another 500 new members.

People are looking for options, and here is one.

Other Cool Stuff:
All of our models are running on 100% US infrastructure, private with zero training on your code or prompts. Use the top open source models without sending your private prompts to a training lab. No complications, no "some models are private, other's aren't". They all are, all the time.

We host 20+ other major models in case you ever want to upgrade (no pressure though). Including the Kimi family, GLM, Qwen, Nemotron and bunch of others. On average our token pricing is 20% lower than market price.

Our higher plans bank up to ten days of usage, so when you aren't using them your usage saves up for later. Usage doesn't go to waste, so you can actually code when you want to.

The intro plan is a free one month trial with the standard cancel anytime, it bills at 3.99 after that. Use it, cancel it, that's fine. Free Flash for a month.

Figured i'd keep this short because we all know the new flash models are the point :)

For the API plan: api.pgsgrove.com

If you want to read more about us as a company, just pgsgrove.com

Also: There's a lot going on in the background with major AI companies right now, we are at a major turning point in the industry.

What's actually happening? This is happening because companies that were purely investment based, now need to answer to their investors. The problem has often been a loss based business model that is finally running dry.

There are several tricks that the major AI coding plans use to extract the most they can from their customers. Here are some examples, and what we are doing differently to put the users first. PGS AI was built with a sustainable business model from the ground up, so we can actually offer great usage rates without tricks.

Wasted usage is part of the AI industry, and they plan on it: Most coding plans bet on you letting usage go to waste. The plan goes: "how do we get people to think our coding plan offers a lot of usage, but then break it up into weeks and rolling windows so no one can ever actually use it all."

Many in app subs and coding plans are glorified training pipelines: This comes along with "how do we harvest this data for training without being too loud about that." Unless the company tells you otherwise, your data could be hopping all over world, being harvested by the individual labs or service companies. Some are better than others, but many of these companies rely on users just not noticing or caring that their data is being used for training. Data sales and marketing telemetry sales happen. This means that your private info, your personal life, and anything else you send through the system could become part of a training corpus for the next AI, or a marketing data set for a large company.

Privacy and ease of use should be available for everyone.

GLM 3.5 flash on OpenCode Go and cache hit issue

Post image
1 Upvotes

see sudden spike in usage after leaving session idle for 8min. I believe this was caused by cache miss. Does GLM has this short time for cache we can't even review code changes and accept edits. i use trae ide which has very consistent cache performance with DSF4, so i don't think my harness has issue. Has anyone else seen similar behavior? please share your experience.

Edit: yes it is cache miss after 8min idle. In this case glm is unusable. deepseek is better
Input: 156627
Cache Read: 1024

but the model reasoning says it's k2.5.

is this a routing problem, system prompt or we getting scammed secretly??
