DeepSeek makes the V4 Pro price discount permanent

I would prefer a coding agent to be somewhat independent of the model provider. Providers are trading off on quality, features, and price so frequently, and I don't want to keep changing my agent every time.

I am looking forward to things slowing down and stabilizing. I'm not saying that should happen today, just I am looking forward to it.

I think this will happen much sooner than we thought. Maybe it will happen in next 6 months

There is OpenCode and Pi, they both work pretty well

You can take Codex today and ask it to rewrite itself to work with any API
