Like many of you, I was pissed off when Meta announced they were killing messenger.com.
Months after the supposed sunset date, I am still using it just fine. Did I miss something?
I too was a heavy user of Github Copilot. It was great while it lasted. I thought I would share my experience since moving on due to the golden days being over.
I have been searching for weeks for an alternative to the Pro plan which provides generous inference, while also not costing a kidney. Instead of jumping on the Codex or Claude Code bandwagon, I decided to give Open Source models a try and oh boy was I impressed.
I setup OpenCode CLI, it picked up all the skills I previously had. Setting up MCP is a breeze and the models available are surprisingly competitive to the frontier models.
I use a combination of DeepSeek V4 Pro in planning mode and Kimi K2.6 in build mode.
The combination provides a good balance of well thought out and planned specifications and code which is actually not half bad. In the three days I have been using it there has only been a couple of times where I have had to step in and tell it a mad decision has been made. I have thrown some reasonably complex problems at it too which have complicated UI elements and workflows. For the cost of $10 USD (discounted to $5 for the first month) with the ability to top up after that it works great.
They have generous daily, weekly and monthly rate limits (equivalent of $60 by my understanding)
Anyone else had good results? What did you do to save on token usage? I'm considering trying a fork of Caveman for Opencode to extend my usage further.
