    It’s not yet clear how all this will be implemented. But I have plenty of doubts.

    If it were not rate limited that would be acceptable for enterprise use

    If it gives me 120x usage vs a plus plan, I'm totally onboard. That's a big "if" though.

    How much usage is it going to be? I definitely run out too fast on the $200 plan if I have more than one task going at a time. 500 is a bit pricey though…

    I really doubt they would release that. In order to sustain, they would have to reduce the current plans/increase usage with good quality.

    haven't heard of it, enjoying my $10 OpenCode Go sub, dual OEM spark setup, and open weights. I also use Fireworks at work.

    Every token vendor seems to be having issues, by proxy of hyperscaler capacity issues. Whether or not we get served up quants is opaque, and should be a finable offense for not delivering what you are charging for.

    The dual spark is definitely nice when this happens, and even though I doubt I'll ever pay it back in terms of saved token costs, the freedom sure does feel great!

      > $10 OpenCode Go sub

      I suppose this is as good a plan as any.

      I had to migrate away from Github Copilot in June, and I am not looking forward to doing the whole moving thing again.

        OC Go is pretty generous with the quota for what you pay, hard to pass up access to a wide variety of open models for $10 / month
