You could consider going with OpenCode Go for 10$. The value you get is claimed to be 80$ in DeepSeek v4.1 Flash API value. I use that and so far it is good for me. Some claim they run a different quant but I so far don't see that.

Dax has said time and again they don't quantize the models they offer. Assuming they trust their upstream providers (I don't think believe they run their own inference) and we trust them, what you get with OpenCode Go is exactly what you'd get from the DeepSeek API.

I am personally a very happy OpenCode Go user. $10 month has never felt more useful.

Eh there's a lot of ways to 降智, quants are just the most visible. I noticed a fair bit of variance with opencode go and went back to deepseek direct.

It's helpful that DeepSeek is so cheap that it's actually reasonable to pay standard API rates.

This is no longer true(?), there's zero difference between what is served by deepseek and opencode go. Infact I am pretty sure it's served by deepseek as the tok/s graphs closely align with eachother.
