- Praise: OpenCode Go is a game changer! Access to DeepSeek, Qwen, and MiniMax M3 makes design work so much smoother and efficient.
- Praise: The potential for 6x usage through bulk discounts is a fantastic deal, making it cheaper to burn tokens than usual.
- Praise: MiniMax M3 is surprisingly high-quality, producing less hallucination than DeepSeek, which is a plus for practical applications.
- Concern: OpenCode's shady data practices have left many uneasy, with claims of leaking user data to third parties and broken promises on data retention.
- Concern: Local models are still lagging behind paid services in readiness, making it tough for users without high-quality hardware.
- Concern: The costs of running local models could quickly add up, especially for continuous data analysis, making them less appealing compared to direct support for model creators.
