Codex can now run Deepseek-v4- flash! There's a catch... though. Deepseek's official setup switches your entire codex over to them, so your GPT models stop showing up at all. This is exactly what Codex Router is for. It adds models to the list instead of replacing them, so sol, grok, kimi and deepseek all sit in the same picker and i just grab whichever one suits the job. Deepseek v4-flash is $0.28 per million output tokens. opus 4.8 is $25. same picker, 89x apart. Links in the comment. setup's in the video 👇show more

Codex can run Qwen-3.8-max now as well!! Alibaba most... capable model, dropped today and it's already in my codex picker. It's a token plan subscription, not metered api billing. You take the key from your Qwen plan, drop it into Codex Router, and it spends down the plan instead of your card. There's a catch though. Qwen's official setup switches your whole codex over to them, so your ChatGPT models stop showing up at all. That's exactly what Codex Router is for. It adds models to the list instead of replacing them, so sol, Grok, kimi, Deepseek and now Qwen 3.8 max all sit in the same picker and it can grab whichever one suits the job. Router's open source, setup's in the video 👇show more

if you use Codex and you're stuck on GPT... models only, this fixes that. it's called codex-router, open source. drops other models straight into your normal Codex picker, right next to the GPT ones you already have. what it adds: - Grok, Kimi, Deepseek, Claude, all in the same picker - oauth login per provider, no api key needed - your GPT models and Chatgpt login stay untouched setup: point Codex at the repo, let it read the readme, it installs itself one snag: if you've got the Chatgpt app and a separate Codex on your path, you can end up running two different Codex versions, and the older one can choke on newer config it doesn't recognize. if the install looks off after, that's probably why, reinstall clean.show more

this is the best trick to maximum usage limits... on chatgpt codex codex's best kept secret is that your main agent doesn't have to do everything... custom agents are just files in ~/.codex/agents, and one file gives you a second worker on deepseek v4 flash > create ~/.codex/agents/deepseek-worker.toml > set model = "opencode-go/deepseek-v4-flash" with model_reasoning_effort = "max" > keep it bounded: one task packet, no scope creep, report back ```toml name = "deepseek_worker" description = "bounded implementation, testing, and cleanup on deepseek v4 flash" model = "opencode-go/deepseek-v4-flash" model_reasoning_effort = "max" ``` then @ deepseek_worker in the composer... your root agent plans while the worker ships the implementation planning on the main model, execution on the flash lane... that's the whole trick (we run this exact file, last i checked it keeps the heavy turns off the main thread)show more

DeepSeek V4 Flash being ranked almost equal to Opus... 4.8 is actually insane to me. Against Kimi K3, Opus 5, GPT-5.6 Sol, and Qwen 3.8 Max Preview, you give up a LOT by choosing DeepSeek. This is not a 2-point difference in practice. I’ll post the Opus 4.8 comparison next because you need to see this.show more

"You've reached your rate limit. Try again after 7pm."... every. fucking. day. $200/month - $2,400 a year - for Codex. then i opened the DeepSeek pricing page. Someone made DeepSeek a native subagent for Codex. Heavy work goes there, light stays on GPT-5. Same code out the other end. 35x cheaper. DeepSeek V4 Flash lives on its own API key, not on my Plus quota. One command: npx skills add oil-oil/codex-deepseek-subagent -g -y Restart Codex, tell it "set up DeepSeek as a subagent", done. First day in a month I'm still working in the evening instead of hitting the wall. save this before your next rate-limit ↓show more

OpenCode Go is now wired into Codex!! The pricing... is insane. $10 gets you 10,000 DeepSeek requests every 5 hours (no weekly limits). I converted that into DeepSeek API dollars because I thought I was reading it wrong, and the same 5 hours of usage would run somewhere between $10 and $30 depending on how big your context gets. So one afternoon of use already covers the whole sub. It comes with Kimi K3 as well. Both sit in the picker next to my other models now. Next time we hit a limit in the middle of a loop, we can grab it and keep going.show more

holy sh*t this is f**king dangerous i just figured... out how to run Opencode in Codex It has Deepseek V4 Flash which replaces Opus 5 at 1/4th price You can get 10,000 request in only $10/month along with Kimi K3 and Qwen 3.5 Max [here is how you set it up] 1. install the 'codex-router' 2. Put in the Opencode Go API key 3. Done that's it Save this no matter what. This will be the best thing you do this weekshow more

DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 first test. DeepSeek V4 Flash... 0731 is ridiculously cheap compared to Kimi K3, GPT-5.6, and Opus 5 For its price, this is a surprisingly capable model. First challenge: Generate a railway station in Three.js. The result exceeded my expectations for such a low-cost model. It’s definitely one to watch if you’re building 3D projects on a tight budget.show more

Muse Spark 1.3 is now in Codex!! OpenCode's free... tier runs it for nothing, and $10 on OpenCode Go gets you over 45,300 requests. It's basically Opus 5 tier too. There's a catch though. Meta may use your inputs and outputs for training, which is the whole reason the tier is called contributor and the whole reason it's free. Muse 1.3 just sits in the picker next to my paid models now. I'll just use Astra + Muse Spark for subagents. Gonna keep everything in stock in case we need it.show more

DeepSeek R1 is *the* best model available right now.... It's at the level of o1, but you can use it for free, and it's much faster. A huge leap forward that nobody saw coming. No wonder so many people are throwing tantrums online trying to discredit the Chinese students who built this. You can use DeepSeek in Visual Studio Code right now: 1. Install the Qodo Gen AI extension 2. Select DeepSeek R1 from their list of models The Qodo team is hosting DeepSeek on their servers, so none of your data will go to China. I've been building a Tetris game using DeepSeek, and this is the most impressive model I've seen so far.show more

this is literally f**king insane i just 2x my... usage limits on $200/mo codex i figured out how to use deepseek v4.1-flash on $10/mo opencode go for routine subagent work... while gpt-6 astra directs the project and sol handles implementation. here's how to set it up in 3 mins: → connect opencode go to codex through model-router → install quota flow, including its skill and agent profiles → open a fresh astra task and paste: quota flow tells flash to handle discovery and checks, sol to implement, and luna to review when needed. the same implementation agent keeps its context through the build → test → fix loop. every extra agent should earn its call.show more

Union Alpha is now in Codex!! The speed is... insane over 300 to 400 tokens a second, 262k context, images in, and it's free for a week. It's a good timing too, most of the Codex usage is basically gone right now. Zai did this exact thing in August: Ox Alpha showed up unnamed, free for a week, built for agentic coding, and a week later it was GLM-5.3-Flash. So what model do you guys think it is?show more

a moonshot engineer leaked the benchmark anthropic, openai and... xai all buried the same week: kimi k3 beat opus 5, gpt-5.6 and grok 4.6 at $0.94 a task. stop paying anthropic $200 a month for opus 5 and openai $200 for gpt-5.6 when kimi does the same work for $8 the leak showed kimi k3 winning 9 of 12 categories against opus 5, gpt-5.6 and grok 4.6. within 48 hours all three labs quietly pushed pricing pages and one very specific comparison chart off their sites. nobody announced anything. they just deleted, which tells you everything the four numbers they scrubbed: cost per task · $0.94 vs $1.80 -> opus 5 charges $1.80 to finish one task. gpt-5.6 $1.04. grok 4.6 $0.61. kimi k3 $0.94 and it landed 487 of 500 clean -> anthropic is billing you double for a model that lost the benchmark it paid to promote the weights · free, sitting on huggingface right now -> the entire model is a public download. pull it, keep it, run it forever, nobody can switch it off -> a model you can hold cannot be rented at $200 a month. that single fact is what three labs deleted a chart over the switch · one line of bash -> moonshot ships an anthropic-compatible endpoint. one env variable and claude code points at kimi -> same cli, same keybindings, same /model. you change a url, opus 5 never knows it lost the seat the bill · $400 down to $8 -> opus 5 max plus gpt-5.6 pro is $400 a month. kimi runs the same daily work for $8 metered -> that is a 98% cut for output that beat both of them 9 categories to 3 here is the part they will fight me on: the frontier tax died the week this leaked and all three labs know it. once the weights are public the price has a ceiling, because anyone can serve the same model. anthropic, openai and xai are charging 2025 prices on a lead that ended in a benchmark they deleted instead of answered drop your $400/mo ai stack to $8. the run above is kimi k3 finishing the task opus 5 bills $1.80 for. the full breakdown is in the article belowshow more
