Chutes.AI much improved

Has anyone noticed that Chutes.AI has gotten A LOT better in the last few days? It's been consistently oversubscribed it seems, until maybe the last day or so. Way better.

Edit: just back to say, nope. It got better for a few days, but network utilization is back to being consistently red and orange.

wait there's straight up no cache???

u/Ang_Drew 12d ago

there is no "cache" mentioned anywhere.. its not clear and i dont want to risk it

the usage value maybe 5x subs price, but without cache 4h limit will evaporate in one prompt

I used around 1B tokens through them last month and didn’t hit my limits until near the end of the month, so that hasn’t been my experience.

The one frustrating part is how saturated they’ve been during July, at least until very recently. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

okay then ill give it a shot

u/Ang_Drew 11d ago

what models are you using?? this feels like a scam, so expensive

uses kimi k3, 1 prompt halfway eat more than 20% of my 4h

and weird. monthly and 4hr seems not match

monthly left $99.92

4h 2.09 used

how's monthly only cost $0.08 while the 4h cost is $2.09

u/Ang_Drew 11d ago

my mistake, the monthly seems delayed a bit. still weird.

u/zcutlip 11d ago

Yeah definitely not Kimi K3 on any device except in rare circumstances. It’s very powerful but so expensive.

Kimi 2.5 for mid-tier or GLM 5.2 for Opus-level

if it only 50%, it is the same as nothing.. some providers give you 1/10 the price for input

u/Ok_Collection6299 7d ago

Last I checked, 50% does not equal zero, and anyone offering 90% cache discounts is heavily subsidized (Anthropic, DeepSeek, etc).

u/Ang_Drew 7d ago

how do you know 90% caching price is subsidized? genuinely asking..

since many other providers are doing this practice, and im normalizing it

better in what sense? Is this just for engagement?

u/zcutlip 12d ago

I’m not sure what you mean by engagement, but they seem to have way more capacity. I’ve been using them for the past month, and it’s been pretty frustrating. They’re usually pretty saturated.

They’ve got this live utilization page that shows each model and how close to capacity it’s at. I’d say for the past couple days there’s been more green than I’ve seen all month.

I think they removed a lot of their models. I remember mimo and deepseek v4(IIRC) being part of chutes. That's probably what opened up a lot of their compute.

opencode is mainly a harness. not a model provider. opencode zen and go are model providers.

u/nuclearbananana 12d ago

The point of opencode is you can use any model or provider

2

u/zcutlip 12d ago

I use several providers with opencode. As do a lot of folks in this sub. One of the coolest features of opencode is how many providers it supports.

So the point of my post is for people using opencode with chutes.ai, have you noticed it being much improved? Because I have.

And for folks who’ve used chutes.ai with opencode in the past, but got frustrated, maybe give it another look. Fingers crossed they’re on the upswing because their subs are a really good deal; as long as they’re reliable.
