I'm sure a lot of people tried 1 model/harness and stuck with it without really comparing (same way I haven't changed my IDE and my terminal for the past 10 years), and eventually will try a Chinese model and will be blown away.
I was discussing with a coworker yesterday who pays $200/month for cursor, has never tried any other harness and mostly use grok, in rare occasions opus 5.5 ("opus thinks too much"). He's always out of tokens on the 15th of the month. I told him I exclusively use DS 4.1 flash with opencode, spend like 150M tokens a day (including cache) and it oneshots all my tasks. I barely reach 20% of my $10 sub at the end of the month. He told me "bullshit"…
