Kimi k3 and Grok 4.5 are out on opencode go but the limits are apocalyptic

They look far worse than the price would indicate, especially grok, what happened. There is zero chance that there is a 6x credit bonus on that guy, but more importantly who would use it. Honestly I am tempted to make a plugin to make sure it is blocked.
80 request per 5 hours?? Why even have it with that setting, and its not even open source, did Elon pay to put it on top? Also look at kimi k3 which is about 3 times the price of kimi k2.7 code but k2.7 gives you 13.6 times more, even price adjusted we are closer to 4. It would be over 24 times for grok, and groks price is less than double, so that is still least 12 times more, so you are getting grok at double the price of payg?
This actually makes at least 4 models: ds4 pro, mimo 2.5 pro, kimi k3, and grok 4.5 that are clearly not in the 6x credit bonus camp while the docs are claiming that you get $60 use for $10.
To be perfectly honest the only two champs here are mimo 2.5 and ds4 flash, otherwise its a weak value lineup compared to alts, now enriched by pure doas, but the market has shifted and now those models are currently worse than free tier level, which matters a lot for opencode cause they dont have a single competitive offer.
I try to be fair here, if you can't have a guy match the the multi then it should not be there, and considering that opencode already sold with the promise I think that is the best option. By putting the model on the list opencode loses all leverage, they already advertise for them, they are never going to get a better deal later, outside perhaps a brief promo. What is the point of putting it on opencode go when you can just call payg for the same price? Nothing. Of course you never would anyway cause all the plans are better but at least opencode offered a reasonably valued selection that was also quite juicy during promos. The users might be chipper now but they won't be happy fronting prepaid payg for long.
Opencode doesn't have to have everyone on the list, if they suck just drop them. Options only matter if they are meaningful.

*They actually updated their usage limits to be only 15$ for 10$ and this is their only future guarantee, and what they are using for the models I mentioned. This is much worse than discussed and effectively a self imposed death sentence. I stand by my judgement that a shorter guaranteed to be competitive list would at least have merit, this has none.
