The opus models are the first models I can work with day to day and not rage at them.
But, at their true cost, it's not worth it 90% of the time. Next month with the GitHub copilot changes is going to be a bloodbath.
Pricing is an issue, yes - the open-weight models aren't on par with claude and codex yet. I have hopes that six months to a year can bring them to the level of current frontier models, and if so I think that's probably good enough for most users, including me. How Anthropic and OpenAI intend to make money at that point, I couldn't tell you, but I don't see an actual downside there :)
I've been using deepseek v4 flash on opencode's infra for a couple of weeks and it's pretty solid for something so low-cost. Honestly satisfied with it over Claude, for the premium Anthropic charges. Have you tried it at all?
Limited to approved tools at work.
Need to set up local models on my server for personal stuff.
Ahhhh fair play. I have a lot of freedom since I'm paying out of pocket for my own use. I have a pretty beefy rig for running local, but it's not beefy enough to run deepseek pro and the like 😬 so, I have a bunch of subscriptions to try out a bunch of different models and see what works best in my workflow. I also have a problem with making alts in games, which seems like it rhymes 🤔
Been pretty impressed with glm5.1 too, before deepseek-v4 came out, but you'd be amazed what even a smaller older coding model can do with the right config and a little proactive context management. I really hope this trend of smaller, better models for local agentic use continues.
