Working with chinese models is giving me a fullfilment sensation. I think that I have enough quality for the work that I need to do and lots of extra tokens to work with. With Claude and ChatGPT I reach the limits fairly easy, but not with OpenCode Go. So I will use Claude once in a while for difficult tasks to see how much better it still is (but use Chinese on a daily basis)

I have been using Deepseek V4 Pro for personal projects and it has been great. I think the $20/mo GPT plan is still the strongest value, but only because you don’t have to pay API prices for tokens.

I benched DS4 flash and Pro vs opus 4.8 xhigh on 16 work-related tasks a month ago across 4 days.

Opus 4.8 came out as a winner by 1 task only where both DS4 pro and flash looped out of "focus". But flash performed as well or better (as in being more thorough) in 13 out if 16.

The way I see it even DS4 flash is as efficient as top dogs and only starts lagging on very vibecodey (generating lots of stuff) or very difficult bugs. But you're really spending low cents amounts for your tasks.

OpenCode Go is a great deal but I recently dumped my subscription because I found myself rarely reaching for it over my Anthropic sub (I can get 40 hours of work a week out of the $20 sub and almost never hit weekly limits). Subscribed to OpenAI as my secondary and I've been really impressed with that too so far.

I expect if they add Kimi 3 to Go the limits are going to be really low since 2.7 is already one of the most limited models and 3 is much larger.

What models do you use on your Anthropic sub? The weekly limits have been okay with resets but the 5 hours are brutal.

I use mostly Opus 4.8 medium or Fable medium in OpenCode.
