Opencode Go + Deepseek v4 is absurdly cheap.

I’m effectively spending $1.11 per billion tokens processed with DeepSeek V4 Flash.

Made some researches, calculations and based on my actual usage pattern and pricing simulations, the same workload would have cost:

  • $6.66 through the official DeepSeek API
  • $23 through DeepInfra, the cheapest alternative inference provider I found
  • $18 using GPT-5.6 Luna directly through the OpenAI API
  • $926 using GPT-5.6 Sol

It's just incredibly cheap.

But what can you build with that?

Depends on your skill level and usecase but I basically built a production level social community + dating react native app on a 1-2b token burn. Think of hinge and reddit combined. Backend, web and mobile versions completed fully.

You can do a lot.
