FYI, I think opencode go is kind of a subscription model, not a direct credits-to-tokens model. In terms of value it's nowhere near as good as Claude's subscriptions, but it seems way more valuable that paying for tokens directly. However they only offer a few models - decent ones, but not many and a little behind the times.
Opencode Go and Zen are both much cheaper than anything from anthropic or openai. So much so that even paying per token can be cheaper than Anthropic's subscription. Deepseek models specifically are 10x cheaper and almost as good as what you get with anthropic sonnet.
You can use opencode with a lot of different setups though, you don't need to go for their subscription model.
Yes. You can use opencode, the agenetic coding tool, with just about any llm runner or model. But Opencode Go is their cloud-llm suscription plan, with limited/slightly-dated llm models.
