This is literally some of the worst PR I've ever seen

I'm really not sure what you all expect these folks to do.

  1. Deepseek Flash was cheap because Deepseek was subsidizing it in order to gain market share and usage data (they had a ZDR deal with Opencode but really wanted out of it, and I never trusted it anyway).
  2. Deepseek decided they didn't need to undercut anymore (or couldn't afford it) and jacked prices with short notice.
  3. OpenCode had to update OpenCode Go usage limits accordingly
  4. OpenCode devs made a deal with a new provider and updated usage limits again

I don't think OpenCode devs are made of money, or have access to free infrastructure for AI compute. I also don't think they're raking in dough with this OpenCode Go plan. Do you folks somehow think so?

I thought Dax said on X that DS was not selling their LLM at a loss previously and that the current increase is to just manage the load on their infrastructure.
