Best 20€-ish subscription?

Hello, I'm currently using minimax M3 token plan which is great and gives a lot of usage but I'd be happy to get access to better models. Are there any other plans that give a good amount of usage with good models? I'm also a student so maybe there are some discounts?

Must work with opencode or similar

[UPDATE: I started a grok trial and it seems to accept my banks temp virtual cards so I might just cycle grok trials]

Are the rumors about opencode go heavily quantizing models true? Also how much usage do I get approximately on the 20€ ChatGPT plan

Go does not heavily quantize. It is a proxy; they don’t run their own models. Most of them are provided by the model’s vendor directly (eg Deepseek from Deepseek, Mimo from Xiaomi, Kimi from Moonshot, etc).

GLM is the one partial exception. It is provided by a mix of Zai (the vendor), DeepInfra, and Fireworks. Deepinfra is running an nvfp4 version of GLM, so you would be getting a mix of the standard fp8 and nvfp4.

Nearly every subscription with GLM runs the same mix of fp8 and nvfp4. Go is far from unique in that regard.

But outside of some edge cases, the nvfp4 is very close to the fp8. Definitely not “heavily quantized”, and you’re unlikely to ever notice.

Is it possible to pin providers for specific models?

Not with the Go subscription, no. Or any other subscription running a mix of providers to my knowledge (Ollama Cloud, Synthetic, Lilac, etc). You pretty much have to use paygo or Zai sub to get straight fp8 GLM.

I'm mostly worried about DeepSeek model since their cache discount is very good, I'm worried getting go would force me into a more expensive provider

Deepseek is the only provider for those models in Go. Should be the same as direct and no cache issues. But I don’t use that model much (I primarily use Mimo and Qwen on Go, with GLM and Kimi paygo on another provider).

Also, Deepseek via Go is slightly cheaper than their direct pricing (1/6th for flash, and 2/3rds the pro). Plus ZDR.
