> With my OpenCode Go sub of $10/month, DeepSeek is basically unlimited
My OpenCode Go monthly window was scheduled to reset this morning. It was sitting at 22% used despite me using DeepSeek V4.1 Flash heavily as my implementation agent the past couple weeks (I use gpt-6.1-sol high for planning/orchestration).
I had 1.5 hours left so I fired up first 10, then 20, and finally 50 concurrent subagents all working on reverse engineering C code from an old PC game. They found over 100 new functions.
This is the first workload I've found that could make a dent in my sub. It got my 5 hour window to 85% used, but sadly my monthly was still only at about 35% when it reset. So that cost maybe $2.
How are you guys doing orchestration? I have been fumbling around in my free time trying to build something for myself but is there a repo or something that just works?
I might not be the best person to ask. I use Pi harness in tmux and just ask my current agent to spawn interactive pi instances in new tmux windows, create a sentinel file for each of them, and monitor the sentinel files for signals every 2 seconds.
Currently have auto compaction turned off. When the orchestrator's context is getting close to full, I have it write a handoff markdown file and point a fresh agent at it.
I do feel like I'm getting close to the point where I might be ready for something more sophisticated, especially wrt to subagents communicating with the orchestrator.
Many orchestrator harnesses exist.

I quite like Paseo (been maining it for a week), but Orca also looks good.
