Ask HN: How much money do you spend monthly on subscriptions for AI models?

Previously $0 using local models, then $10/mo with GitHub Copilot, cancelled that when it became a bad deal, now $10/mo with OpenCode Go.

I haven't seen a better deal than OpenCode Go yet. You get more in token spend than with using providers directly due to some volume discounts they pool.

exact same path as me. I'm still stuck with 5 more months of Copilot annual subscription, but it was nerfed so badly that I just wrote it off completely. OpenCode go in VS Code is fantastic.

Yep. Exact same take here. I have a private harness I actually integrated GitHub Copilot Chat support with, but you lose an "entire months" credits with any nominal task.

They knew what they were doing and wanted to kick people off.

Thank you for sharing your experience, too. I suspect a lot of us all took this path.

Great. I'm debating the exact decision. Will quickly follow your path now. Github -> Opencode Go

Move to CommandCode GOAT - OpenCode Go has slashed DS limits
