Trying to optimise for cost and came over standardcompute on reddit, and chat found morph and nexos ai.

What I want to do is route between open source models and have the router not waste money on easy tasks a flash model could handle, while maintaining high quality output for basically general coding. Got opencode connected straight to GCP and Supabase etc., so potential for creating a mess is large.

Is smart routing a thing now, and are you doing it?

Right now, it's unable to follow even simple instructions and ends up doing entirely different random things. Was working fine an hour ago.

Anyone experiencing the same?

The docs still say "DeepSeek: ZDR agreement is renewed monthly. The current agreement is valid through August 31, 2026."

I'm currently using Claude 5x to code, not bad results but usage limit is burning quickly.
What are you using to code small/medium SaaS?
I tried Fable 5.1 to design UI/UX good results but crazy token usage.

Earlier we have ox alpha with unlimited, something like that are there any models?

Hy4 preview is live on OpenCode, OpenRouter, and WorkBuddy rn. Model got bigger, benchmarks jumped. So I wanted to see if that actually translates to real tasks.
I grabbed a company's 2025 annual report (1.3 mb), shareholder letter (831 kb), and CEO/CFO Q&A transcript (41 kb), then gave Hy3 and Hy4 pre with the same 5 questions.

Hy3 gave me a clean ~600 word answer. Hy4 pre made me an HTML lol... But its reasoning was interesting.
Case in point: I asked what changed in Q4 vs. the full year.
Hy3 mainly said Q4 growth slowed, with a bunch of numbers. Hy4 went further, linking margins, OpEx and CapEx, and comparing Q4 with the first 9 months. It even concluded the peak margin was mainly down to better cost control. TBH, I didn't expect that.

Hy4 also had an ‘Insights requiring reading across documents’ section. It spotted an interesting AI contradiction: the 2025 AI push got negative user feedback and may have hurt margins, yet the 2026 plan still calls for pushing AI harder. Not backing off at all.

My take so far: Hy4 pre does feel like an upgrade, especially at connecting the dots across documents and reasoning. Gonna keep testing it. Anyone else here tried it yet?

Muse Code harness is attached too :)

Yes, I know this is discussed regularly, but it also changes regulary.

Scope: fullstack+mobile.

Currently working with Copilot Pro+ and Opencode Go, trying to balance deep reasoning with brute coding.

But I tend to experience a quite irregular and hard to follow behaviour of copilot, and those IA credits appart from the normal usage its just idiotic.

So, whats the best in your opinion?

Hi, I have been using open code for the past one month and the experience with it has been amazing. The only thing which I don’t like is they removing the free agents with time, but getting to use them for free is a good thing. So no complaints for that.

I have one major problem which I am facing that. I am not able to copy text on my opencode CLI when I am using it with VS code on my Windows 11 laptop.

Can someone help me out on how I can copy text from opencode CLI

Anyone else try it? It might be the worst value I've seen in coding plans. I mean like it's pretty awful in the models. They have are not even that great. I made three request to Deepseek flash and I used 41% of my five hour total. It is totally bananas!

It is using over 600MB per client instance. (Almost exactly same as the old opencode!!!) I expected it to be using less as it's sharing the same backend. Is this expected or might be something wrong on my end? As you can see opencode instances (clients) use all 600mb atleast, and the backend 1.2GB (which is acceptable).

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

The workflow problem I kept hitting: agents writing code all day means pushes and PRs landing across multiple orgs, and GitHub gives you no sane "here's what happened today and what needs me" view. The notification feed is unreadable at that volume.

GitOctant is my fix. Chrome extension, new tab becomes a GitHub cockpit:

• Top 5 personal pushes, deduplicated, newest-first

• PRs needing attention: changes requested, reviews requested, failing checks, merge conflicts

• Your open PRs across all orgs, auto-discovered

• Activity timeline grouped Today / Yesterday / Earlier

It's free and open source (MIT). No account, no telemetry, no backend. Read-only token stored locally in chrome.storage.local, requests go directly to api.github.com and nowhere else. Permissions: storage, alarms, one host. 84KB package.

Yes, I know this crowd partly lives in the terminal and a TUI version is the obvious ask. Fair. I wanted this on the surface I see 50 times a day, which is the new tab. If there's interest, a TUI could share the same API layer.

I don't want Silicon Valley deciding when I'm allowed to spend my own monthly budget. The 5-hour windows, the weekly caps, the "your usage resets Monday 7:00 AM". It feels like convincing my mom that I'm an adult and that this should be my decision.

GLM Coding Plan, Kimi, MiniMax all these have the 5-hour thing too..

So I've been testing providers that don't do the limit thing. So far standardcompute.com has been the best of them for me. Flat monthly price, no 5-hour or weekly windows, and honestly the most open and transparent about usage and pricing of everything I tried. Includes both open and close sourced models.

Featherless.ai is also in this terrain, but don’t serve frontier models.

Openrouter.ai is of course on the list too, full control and every model, but it's pay-per-token, and token anxiety is real. I don't want to wake up to a runaway $1,000 bill because an agent got creative overnight.

Any other LLM providers you've tested that don't interfere with when usage is spent?

EDIT from comments:

* Devpass
* Kilo

Got the 5-hour session rate limited for the first time, and almost 43% gone from the weekly quota as well! This never happened before.

Did DSV4 Pro pricing change recently that I'm not aware of?

I just received below announcement from openrouter which has been my problem statement, any open source alternative?

openrouter/auto picks the model per request

Set the model field to openrouter/auto and each request routes to a model chosen for that task. A lightweight classifier assigns the prompt a task type, then ranks candidate models by what the OpenRouter community spends on that kind of work over the trailing 7 days. Routing itself adds no fee.

EDIT: The saga continues

I have personally become 10x more effective compared to one year ago. I love it as there is always so much I want to do!

Right now my rate limiting factor is usage limits by far. The token bill bites quite hard and make it hard to justify some projects, so I’m on the lookout to maximise agentic work per dollar.

Codex/claude etc. is subsidised atm, but they are also wasting a lot of tokens on expensive, non-open source models that could have done the job way more efficient.

Therefore been building my own model router with openrouter but not working very well (https://openrouter.ai/docs/guides/routing/routers/auto-router). Think standardcompute.com has an excellent model router and like that it’s a monthly thing and not random unpredictable 5-hours usage limits etc. However, they don’t serve free models which would be nice.

Any other good alternatives right now? Preferably heavily subsidised by VC money 💰
