FYI, you can use your Claude subscription pricing with OpenCode via Meridian[0], which also makes it easier to try out other models when they come out. You can also use your other subscriptions in OpenCode with CLIProxyAPI[1]. The switching cost was relatively high, mostly from claude code plugins but completely worth it. I'm now mostly using GLM-5.3 and Codex models via OpenCode and barely using Claude which seemed unfathomable less than two months ago.

Use a unified proxy that lets you switch between models seamlessly. We are far from an equilibrium in this market and you will continue to have FOMO no matter who you pick if you go all in on one company

Yes. Please seriously try other models. See relevant thread here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49296740

I use the $200 plan w/ Anthropic and run out of tokens half way through the week and supposedly they are progressively reducing the limits on all their subs even further.

At some point I will switch, $200 buys a lot of tokens on OpenRouter.

At least by API usage, they aren't yet lower cost than subscriptions. Not sure about GLM's subscription plans though.

If anything, it's going to be more expensive. Price/performance ratio isn't there yet for frontier open weight models.

But regardless, you definitely should use a harness where switching models on the fly is easy. There's a reason why Anthropic uses their own proprietary formats/conventions anywhere they can - to lock you in when inference eventually commoditizes.

no, at subscription prices claude is a better value than GLM.

They're only a better value if you're paying API rates
