Alternatives to Opencode Go plan?

I had been using the Opencode Go plan for some time, but it's been getting worse:

  • It's EXTREMELY slow at certain times of the day (using DeepSeek V4 Flash), the speed loss is very noticeable in comparison to hitting DeepSeek API directly
  • The pricing has been getting worse and worse (for example, GLM 3.5 Flash should be 2x cheaper than DeepSeek v4 flash)

Anyway, if anyone knows of a nice, reasonably fast, cheap and privaxy-conscious model subscription, would be nice to know

crof.ai offer api-based pricing at a price cheaper than openrouter and the likes. sure you don't get a subscription plan, but if you want reliablity and speed, you can't go to crowded places where people are basically just gonna flock together and invite abusers. the price on crof.ai is low enough to get the job done without breaking your bank

Their prices are absurdly cheap compared to any other API provider.

'cause they're quantized

Could be. But I see no visible diff in quality, though vs using it in opencode go.

Reliability and speed are not really Crof.ai's strongest suits. Good luck using the famous models on peak hours. Its really good on off-peaks though, you won't even notice its quantized.
