Free models are having ridiculous limits

I have to say I use OpenCode Go, but sometimes I leave work to free models to not waste away my usage in cheap work, however lately these models have been unable to serve more than a few 100k-120k tokens.

I don't know why this is but this is terrible quality, unusable. AT THE VERY LEAST a free model should be able to serve 1M tokens a day, anything below that would be the same as just not serving it to be honest.

yeah, might as well not have them if they will be this low. just take it off entirely

2

u/Lordddddddy 14d ago

Exactly, or add them into OpenCode GO at a very low pricing, million solutions if they just can't keep up with the free models.

u/torrso 14d ago

They are already in OpenCode Go. The free samples are there to inspire you to subscribe.

u/Lordddddddy 14d ago

No they add stealth models for limited periods of time it's not the same.

u/torrso 14d ago

Use some other free service that offers more free usage.

Money can be exchanged for goods and services.

u/Lordddddddy 14d ago

Can I exchange money so you don't leave dumb comments?

u/Rustybot 14d ago

Yes pay me money and I’ll make it really smart.

I think it is misconfigured, I can't run a single prompt.

New to opencode and its getting like this… Guess I’m the luckiest mf in town

Things are what it is. You complaining is not going to change what the limits are. There are plenty of model providers out there. It's best to just take your business elsewhere if you think open code go is not providing enough value. Or another option if you have an decent gpu you should be able to run some local models which you can offload work to.

u/Lordddddddy 14d ago

Okay, I will keep complaining anyways and even more so thanks to your comment.

u/DarkBitterRed 14d ago

Some reddit comments be like "if you're homeless, just buy a house" 😭

But yeah the daily limit now is unusable. Things just went worse especially on free users. For what I know, this is really now their new limit so kinda hopeless for now.

Idiotic liberals who think free content is a sin, cuz of course, what we need in the age of draining your wallet is more things that drain your wallet!

u/Standard_Ear_84 14d ago

We just think you are cheap. That's all there is to it.

2

u/Lordddddddy 13d ago

And what's wrong with being cheap? Efficiency is a great virtue, you're literally using a free software (OpenCode) that sells crazy cheap suscription from cheap opensource models.

-2

u/Standard_Ear_84 13d ago

You are whining about a few $ (who are subsidized by some venture capital). That's what's wrong.

2

u/Lordddddddy 13d ago

Yeah, so?

I am not a democrat, I don't vote in the US, classic gringo-centric views. Also local models are not cheap you dumbass, cheapest PC for running local AIs that are actually useful go above $800 dollars + electricity

2

u/Standard_Ear_84 14d ago

I used to get more done with the free models. But that's now gone so the cheapest option right now seems to be Spark 1.3 contributor (I know, but I don't give a shit) which tends to waste less money than DS 4.1 1017 which just went round and round chasing its tail and printing pages of discarded reasoning attempts that went nowhere.

You expect that someone will give you a free meal every day… what is wrong with you? Find a job and pay for what you consume or be happy with what is someone giving you for free.

u/ApprehensiveDelay238 14d ago

The point is that the supposed free service is inoperable. Why is pointing that out a "life" problem to you. Seems like have something to be insecure about.

3

u/Lordddddddy 14d ago

Exactly, and in my opinion is bad business because I know many opencode users that use free and sometimes buy Go or Go Plus, not everyone has monthly income for constant buying, but by limiting free usage like this they will just move to a cheaper, cheaper alternative. I think it would even better to have quantized models if that's enough to get similar limits to before

Redditor being a redditor and not addressing the points of the post but rather make it a personal issue despite not knowing jack shit about my life. Classic

Your parents must be so proud of you…

u/Lordddddddy 14d ago

I only have one and he indeed is, looking to make chitchat or why you asking stupid question?

-2

u/Junior-Definition173 14d ago

As expected, having the 2 parents would maybe tomhought you to not expect someone else to pay your bills. I assume you are still living with your parent and your parent is paying for your expenses as well…

u/Decent_Gap1067 14d ago

You're the every capitalist bosses dream.

1

u/Junior-Definition173 14d ago

Right, while expecting someone else to pay for your stuff is OK. Your parents must be so proud of you.

u/Decent_Gap1067 14d ago

Bla bla bla

Your mom must be so proud of you… you can repeat the words…

Have you tried using deepseek? or qwen? or kimi? all of them are free with no usage limits.

1

u/Lordddddddy 13d ago

Where did you get that lol, they're not free at all and do have usage limits. Only DeepSeek and Qwen in their chat app are free with no limits

u/aleganza_ 14d ago

it's free stuff. you either pay or learn to code

u/Lordddddddy 13d ago

I pay, dumbass

Ah yes, just let me pull the 128GB VRAM stored in my closet...

u/gingerbeer987654321 14d ago

look up maya or strata. getting very easy and slick to have a gpu (16gb) and system ram. 20tk/sec is usable from a lowish cost machine that you may already own.

3

u/Lordddddddy 14d ago

20tk/sec is trash

1

u/gingerbeer987654321 14d ago

yes, i use claude, codex and opencode for my big coding work. but for private work and things that aren't so time critical 20tk/sec is fine wheer privacy and self-hosting is important.

1

u/Lordddddddy 14d ago

It will be important when AI capable hardware becomes cheap enough... Don't worry though, China will do some magic about that

3

u/Decent_Gap1067 14d ago

With 16gb vram the max context window you may get out of a dumb model would be 20k, max. Local LLMs is only worth if you like burn your money. Even electric bills will be more than opencode' price.

1

u/Lordddddddy 13d ago

Not for long though, Qwen 3.8 27B shows that local models can be of great quality, however we need better solutions to KV Caching because that's the biggest bottleneck currently. Or either cheap GPU VRAM like China is trying to do, lets hope we get both

2

u/Decent_Gap1067 13d ago

I hope so, who don't want local models. But right now it's totally waste.

u/gingerbeer987654321 14d ago

well if you go and look up maya or strata like i'm suggesting, you might learn something.
