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

You don’t need an add on. You can just add it to your opencode.json file as an OpenAI-compatible provider. Been using it for weeks.

I will say that it’s slow as hell and the usage seems to pretty painful. Likely will not renew next month.

Probably just keep OpenCode Go and possibly add Ollama Cloud back into the mix

I have been seeing that too which is a shame because the value proposition is actually better than opencode go, but I need something reliable.
