#2That's almost half way to their stated 6X usage goal! Just from DeepSeek.
> With Go, you pay $10/month and we aim to give you 6x that in usage.
For most models, we make this work through bulk discounts and reserved GPU capacity. We then pass those savings on to you through the 6x multiplier.

I think it's back to 2X usage, meaning it's cheaper token-burn than usual to use. Which is lovely.
OpenCode Go has been so nice to have. I love having access to DeepSeek, Qwen and MiniMax M3 when doing design work, to see what different models cook up. I've been very surprised with MiniMax M3, not as a particularly good architect, but at it's very good ability to state the problem elegantly & to frame the different decision points very well. That's been a fun ongoing surprise.

#3Deepseek will run fine on a single m5 max, cutting that 24 years in half.

#4Cloud > Local
I have a stack of ten or so 3090s sitting in boxes, but it's not worth the hassle to use them. You can easily run models as cheap as water in the cloud.
Sitting around 15 minutes for local Minimax is stupid when you're trying to be productive. You can spin up parallel job instances and multitask in the cloud.
If you want freedom, build open source cloud infra.
You rent your ISP line. Why isn't renting GPU compute seen the same way? You still have compete ownership over your stack, you're just letting someone else deal with the capital outlay and headache.

Why not rent those out on vast.ai and make a little money each month?

Is it mostly seen the same way. What is unacceptable is removing the freedom (which you mentioned) of people who prefer to run models locally.
Just as people have the right to tinker at home with DIY and electronics, fully knowing they won't compete with the latest ASML machine, people are free to use open-weight models at home.
BTW Minimax H3 running local can generate amazing short vids quite fast: about 50 seconds to generate a 7 seconds vids on a 4090 (depending on the settings). I've got a friend who spams my Telegram daily with such (no censorship and NSFW btw) vids.
I don't run local but I'll defend the rights of people who want the freedom to do so and I won't look down at them from my high-horse talking about "electricity" and "productivity".

The value prop really depends on what you're doing.
If you're just vibe coding with giant frontier models, yes, the value will be worse. Especially now, where GPU prices have spiked another 20% last month.
For some tasks where owning the setup and full kv cache matters, the payoff calculation is ridiculously in favor of running your own deployment.
For instance for some batch classifications jobs where the prefix cache hit rate will be >95%.
The calculus also changes if you just use AI as a light tool while coding and don't need the giant models; qwen3 27B runs at 80TPS on a 5090 properly deployed.
