I’ve been using DeepSeek v4 pro for a month now in Kilo Code and its great. Fast, reliable, large context window and cheap as… Did 1,5B tokens this month and cost me 40usd (majority cached, but still).

I've been preferring Mimo recently. Same price as deekseek, more reliable tool calling (subjectively), and has some nice qualities in terms of prose, etc.

I've heard others say that Deepseek tends to be smarter on specific problems but that Mimo tends to more well-rounded.

Is there a way to see how many tokes one does with claude code (pro)?

Which provider? I went through 40 bucks on it on openrouter. It was not a lot of back and forth, context ended at around 300k, 15kloc output. I was using opencode, unsure if I can make the total token count visible.

  • OpenRouter sometimes chooses a very expensive provider. Try the floor slug or choose directly the provider. I moved to just putting 5 dollars directly on deepseek instead of going through OR.

Have you compared Kilo to Pi or OpenCode? Those are the two I'm most familiar with but always looking for alternatives.
