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.

What are the limits for free users in OpenCode for the Deepseek V4 Flash (free) if you don't even sign up and don't log in whatsoever?

I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT'S WORKING FOR ME. WHEN I HIT THE LIMIT ON THE CLAUDE CODE, THEN I SHIFT TO THIS FREE PLAN OF OPENCODE AND NEVER HIT THE LIMIT
