Opencode has really bad cache stability issues that they seem uninterested in fixing at the moment.

I am getting 98.6% cache hit ratio on deepseek-v4-flash with opencode

That’s impressive!

On the sheer performance it’s comparable to Opus ?

There is an uncanny valley effect to websites where FE is created in full via an AI.

These sites have the immediate scent of 'high design', with errors that no 'high designer' would dare make.

The italics give me nausea. Text promoted with orange fill is seemingly random. There is no thought behind the combination of art and copy. Random smattering of Title Case and Sentence case and lower case. A lack of commitment to a full stop Widowed H1s. H1s with random spaces .

At the same time, if I hammer CMD - to 25%, it looks fancy. Perhaps nobody gives a fuck.

That said, I'm excited to try this tool!

> Ah, reminds me of good old "There are only 2 hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-1 errors." You quip, but LLM KV caching (from the harness side) is quite easy: You get a cache hit on stable prompt prefixes, period. That means you want to keep the prefix stable, and only append at the end of the conversation. Made up example: Don't put the git branch name into the system…

That sounds like the experience of writing Containerfiles; since steps are cached you want to pull the thing you are iterating on as far down as possible.

All of this work has been done before in different contexts. Memory management with bigger blocks and weaker definitions that change whenever some grad student gets a bright idea.

https://shittycodingagent.ai

having issues with truncated output from deepseek v4 pro through openrouter via pi-harness on ptyxis-terminal using ubuntu trying reasonix with direct api..

first impression: the tui flickers a lot, unpleasent. very laggy to write in.

The OpenCode devs talk about this on Twitter a lot, e.g. https://xcancel.com/thdxr/status/2048268697790300343 > tool call pruning breaks cache and people will tell you this is horrible and expensive > except i looked at some anthropic data and real user behavior ends up with better cache hits and 30% less spend > even this is needs to be analyzed further, it's just not simple > for openai data it's inverted! cache hi…

My understanding of caching with most models/providers is that a prefix substring of the context has to be reused for a cache hit, but not necessarily the whole entire context window. So if you prune tool calls from the history, you're going to get one cache miss on the newly-pruned history, and then you're going to be getting cache hits on every subsequent turn, with a lower number of input tokens. If you prune subsequent tool calls after that, you would still get a cache hit for the already-pruned portion of the context, just not the full context.

out of curiosity, how do you measure cache hit rate in opencode ?

This website seems to have been generated by Codex - I asked Codex to create an HTML overview of a feature for my team and it made an overly produced monstrosity - complete with the same large stat boxes that were for the most part devoid of meaningful information - using the same font, colors, layout, hero section, etc. It was also terrible on mobile just like this is. In the end I had Claude produce a one-page html…

> In the end I had Claude produce a one-page html file that was 95% of the way there and it took minor editing to clearly explain the intent of the feature.

That doesn't say much about any model though. For starters, any software engineer can tell you that leaving out features can drastically simplify any project.

But Claude made the website?

What conclusion are you drawing from that?

If Deepseek can't even make a static site, why would I want to use it for anything else? (Not saying it can't, just that it's a weird choice to present your Deepseek-oriented product.)
