Have you tried OpenCode Go? $10/mo is what I am willing to spend because most of the stuff I do is hobbyist. And OpenCode Go gives you $60 worth of MS Contributor 1.3 usage for that $10. Starting today, they actually provide $80 worth of DeepSeek 4.1 Flash usage if you want to use that.

Unless you are running a swarm of agents, it is extremely difficult to exhaust these plans in a month.

Yes, I'm on OpenCode Go too... and it's great they raised the usage levels on DS4.1 Flash. But I was really thinking of cancelling it to get either a 2nd Muse Code sub or to go up to the $50 tier.

You have to realize that $15 Muse Code sub with Muse Spark 1.3 gets you around $1500 worth of usage. Neither Opencode Go or really anything else is even in the same ballpark of value. https://x.com/PawelHuryn/status/2106724136932327458

I was hoping this level of subsidization would last a long time but today's announcement make we worried it'll end pretty quickly. There's a lot of AI influencers noting just how fast Muse Wonder uses up their quotas so hopefully fixes are made.

Yeah, I barely manage to exhaust the $60 worth of tokens. I have to think of new things to use up $1500 worth.

Thanks to competition from open models, there is a limit to how much prices can be increased though.

How does OpenCode Go work? How do they make any money?

They are a subscription service.

Subscriptions like these make money by relying on the fact that most people do not try to (or have the time to) extract every last dime out of their plan. The eighty people who do not use up their quota cover for the twenty that do.

That and deals with providers to use spare capacity I guess.
