From here, it looks like opencode is hemorrhaging money. I've got a Opencode Zen free account, and I've been using deepseek-v4-flash-free on Pi for a bit, and I haven't hit a limit yet. Sometimes my request fails, but retrys work. I know this is a very cheap model, but it's being given out for free. I assume they might be training on outputs?

Those are not at the same price. Opecode’s 60 USD of deepseek usage is charged at much higher rates than what deepseek themselves charge at.

Per the open code zen pricing page[1], it appears that the token prices are the same, but their cache is 10x more expensive?

Flash Opencode 0.14/0.28/0.028

Deepseek 0.14/0.28/0.0028

Pro Opencode 1.74/3.48/0.145

Deepseek 0.44/0.87/0.0036

For flash the input/output is the same, but the cache difference is big, you're paying 10x on >95% of your tokens.

For Pro, it's even worse, input/output is 4x and cache is 40x. The price different is really brutal. Yes you will still come out ahead by spending your first 10$/month on opencode go, but you will be saving a lot less than initially appears from their (60 USD for 10 USD pitch).
