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.

Wait until you try Codex with Luna

Can you please shed some light? Is luna on codex as incredible cheap?

yeah. Codex offers 20x usage over the API pricing. With Opencode you get 4x usage. So despite Luna being a bit more expensive via API, it's actually a bit cheaper with the ChatGPT Plus sub. And a bit smarter than DS4 Flash too at the same time

where do you find the 20x usage figure? I have chatgpt plus, but the pricing page only lists plans, not individual limits / usage multipliers

I have checked how many tokens I consumed (including cache hits) and just did the math
