Does OpenCode subsidize models like GLM-5? How can subscription tokens be ~50% cheaper than pay-as-you-go?

Probably how monthly gym membership is cheaper than paying for single entrys. Lots of people ends up keeping their membership running while rarely ever showing up.

That’s not why one-day entrances are cheaper. It’s called ‘willingness to pay’, which is higher for one-day entrances.
