It's impressive all these companies are getting away with "base usage allowance included" [1] or "standard limits" [2], layering the higher plans as a multiplier of that "base" but never disclosing what it is. I guess the base is whatever the profit margin needs to be this month. [1]: https://zcode.z.ai/en#:~:text=Base%20usage%20allowance%20inc... [2]: https://support.google.com/gemini/answer/16275805?hl=en#:~:t...

When running the app, it actually tells you what the base usages are, but the name of the plans are different from the page. It reads: Start plan: 5 Million tokens a day (GLM-5.2 3M, GLM-5 Turbo 2M) For individuals: (+150% quota) $18.00USD+ For individual developers with a dedicated Coding Plan quota.

Now, if only we can figure out what all the others are providing as part of their subscriptions we can compare. (Though 3 million tokens of the top model per day seems kinda low. But, I guess that's what the 5x plan is for. I'd still like to be able to compare against all the big providers.)

Does anyone use an agnostic TUI or harness for development tasks that can fairly seamlessly switch between providers? I'm wanting local context in the spirit of "here are 3 AI providers available, for coding tasks use this one... and for writing prose use this one... and for generating images use this one..." etc.

I stumbled upon https://omp.sh and haven't really felt the need to ever use anything different.

"omp is a fork of Pi by Mario Zechner, rewritten as a coding-first surface: sessions, subagents, slash commands, extensions — all TypeScript..."

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I got around 17m tokens on glm 5.2 then blocked for 4 days on the weekly limit on that plan.

17M tokens... I think it is a lot. What were you working on?

Is that 17M output tokens?

At 200k context that is only 85 requests for a whole week.

have used both pi and opencode for the last 6 months, haven't opened a proprietary harness (cc, codex, cursor) in that same amount of time. right now i'm on pi and i can switch seamlessly between any model across any provider i want, even mid session. can even point them at locally running models. i think people don't realize how much better life is over on this side, cc and codex rely entirely on vendor lock in imo.
