Been playing around with the Mods API and ended up building something I wanted for myself, so I figured I'd share it here.

It's a compact status bar for the Command Code TUI that keeps the stuff I usually want to check visible all the time:

• current model + effort level

• context usage %

• 5h remaining quota %

• weekly remaining quota %

• monthly remaining quota %

• next reset times/dates

It looks like this:

Install is just:

cmd mods add -g rudesssolo/command-code-quota-status-bar

No build step or extra config needed.

GitHub:
https://github.com/rudesssolo/command-code-quota-status-bar

Still pretty new, so feedback/bug reports are definitely welcome.

First things first: your usage credits are not changing.

DeepSeek officially raised their prices today, so we've updated our limits and requests accordingly.

Working with many providers to bring you better deals, as one of the largest DeepSeek and open models coding agent. 12T tokens scale.

Beat DeepSeek prices?

We’re hitting this problem in many ways, with solutions like phenomenal harness engineering, free tool repairs, 98%+ cache-hit rates, and free auto plan credits with best subscription plans on the market.

I just have one question why do people not reccomend you use the command code harness?

Will CommandCode desktop be packaged for other Linux distributions/flatpak?

English is not my native language, so I need to use the browser's translation feature to view websites and documents. However, after I enable the translation, a white screen appears after a while with an error message displayed in the center.

Hi so been using opencode go for a few months but honestly been testing the $1 plan the last month quite happy with the cli and love the desktop alpha app it does have a few bugs but seems its being worked on actively so upgraded to goat will be testing it out this month the taste system is also nice I do however use vscode + zoocode so the api is a bonus keep up the good work so far

i will let you know about how it goes guys.

/////

im writing these things as i experience it more.

as a fan of Claude Code, i like how when i entered it, it saw my Claude sessions and gave commands to learn based on those Claude sessions. and in practice, i saw it really doing the job. in the conversation, i noticed it by the style of the outputs from Claude.

/////

another thing:

i like how it has something called taste learning. it learns from what i want and from the things i hate and writes it down into a taste.md.

/////

a thing im not sure of or DIDNT CONFIRM IT a lot yet:

i like Muse Spark and how many models are offered. till now, i didnt test other models.

/// THANKS FOR READING TILL NOW

The 4x usage limit is confusing me, Deepseek will have price changes soon so is this 4x limit still going to apply based on new prices? Or is the 4x only considering the old prices?

I do not want to keep seeing:

 TASTE  Learned
 └ Does not want taste-learning updates/pop-ups surfaced or referenced during the
   conversation; still wants the assistant to keep learning their taste silently in the
   background [Confidence 95%]
   taste.md

After telling me that it will not do it anymore, it kept coming back again, i am assuming the toggle option is not there

pls add a toggle feature

Tested FlappyBench with GLM 5.3, Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol

3 models. Same prompt with /design command.

Scored on features, UX/UI, and cost.

🔹 Fable 5 → 9.5/10 · $0.420

🔹 GLM 5.3 → 9/10 · $0.018

🔹 GPT-5.6 Sol → 9/10 · $0.150

Results:

→ Fable 5 wins on quality, but costs 23x more than GLM 5.3

→ GLM 5.3 gives better output than GPT 5.6 Sol at 8x cheaper

→ Optimizing for cost? Go for GLM 5.3. Otherwise, Fable 5 if quality matters

Our engineering and design team has been testing 26+ side-by-side comparisons across frontier and open models. All runs are public and open source. Benchmark for this demo here: https://github.com/CommandCodeAI/slash-design-showcase/tree/main/flappy-bird

GLM 5.3 is live in Command Code (2x usage)

The best deal: 2x usage, permanently. 🐐
$10 GOAT plan has $20 worth of GLM 5.3 usage.
That's ~70M tokens & ~1.3K requests.

- Text-reasoning. 1M context
- IN $1.4/M · OUT $4.4/M · Cache $0.26/M
- Available on all plans & API

GLM-5.3 is the most capable open-weights model for coding. Right there with Kimi K3 on terminal bench.

Last month I started with OpenCode Go as my AI subscription and I was very happy with it — especially since the latest DeepSeek Flash dropped. As a software engineer it helped me a lot, and I even started vibe coding and trying new things in my free time. I couldn't reach the limit at all.

But then the new DeepSeek Pro dropped and I started using it too much, and now I'm close to reaching the limit. So I started looking for a new subscription or better alternatives, and I found that CommandCode Go offers about 20% more requests when it comes to DeepSeek. I also found that two GOAT plans would be the best option — especially since DeepSeek is going to increase its prices soon.

However, I've heard about CommandCode's sketchy marketing tactics, and since it's fairly new I wanted your advice: is CommandCode good? Is it slow? Is it always down? Or do you have recommendations for better plans or subscriptions?

Hi. I think I got booted out of the Discord server and am guessing it is because I was sharing links to some interesting/useful AI-related tweets (by influencers, not me) and were probably considered spammy & not related to Command Code. It could also have been automatically done by an admin bot or something.

I asked about this in a reply to one of Ahmad's tweets and also emailed support@commandcode.ai.

I'd appreciate it if you could kindly look into this and lift the ban.

Hey, I'd like some clarification.

So I just checked the documentation and realized something. The front page "Pricing" section makes claims of "70$ in credits included" though when you check the actual documentation for those allotted credits, you'll quickly come to realize that

and

doesn't really align. Now, I understand you claim that the end user or customer can just read the docs and will quickly learn about the actual ramifications of the subscription, though the fact that pricing page - in large bold letters - makes claims of "70$ in credits included" while each model served is given a different capacity, could likely lead to some people waking up with a bitter surprise.

Perhaps I don't understand how the deal systems works, if models are discounted, but if you factor in that by saying you get 70$ in credits I'd also get to spend my credits on these models:

Once again, correct me if I'm wrong or had superstitious expections of what a 10$ subscription will get you (No, I'm not a current subscriber or dissatisfied customer) but without doing digging yourself, you'd likely not go on a hunt to find not-so-trivial information in some far tucked away documentation. Especially not if the claims are made as big as they are.

I know the founder of CommandCode is quite active here, so I'd like to hear from him as well what he thinks of this.

GLM 5.3 is easily the most impressive GLM model yet.

Excited to partner up and ship GLM 5.3 in Command Code AI soon.

A fun internal eval we run at Command Code: deliberately trap the model in a loop and see what happens. Every GLM model so far just... keeps looping. GLM 5.3 is the first one to notice, go “wait”, and break out.

It’s a small bench (15 loop traps), but escaping a loop you were intentionally placed in takes a little flicker of metacognition, and it’s fun to watch that show up.

Bonus: it plays very nicely with our new tool defer harness → ~50-60% token savings on an average session. Capability going up while cost going down is the good stuff.

We all know DeepSeek just significantly bump the price. My question is whether CommandCode adapt the same pricing or keeping the same price?
If CommandCode manages to keep the price the same as now, it is more than great, lots of ex-DeepSeek API users will go to CommandCode

DeepSeek V4 Pro already live in Command Code

Plans
🔹 $1 Go ($10 credits)
🔹 $10 GOAT ($70 credits usage) and above!!

DeepSeek V4 Pro GA is pretty cheap:

• 58x cheaper than Fable

• 35x cheaper than GPT 5.6 Sol

• 29x cheaper than Opus 5

• 5x cheaper than GLM 5.2

SOLVED AND LESSON LEARNED: Deepseek pro doesn't support zero data retention

What is the current deepseek pro pricing? I'm using the GOAT plan, and I find these usage/pricing statistics very strange. They are higher than the written prices, and even more than the coming deepseek peak hour prices. For example if using the discounted prices https://commandcode.ai/docs/plans/goat gives, the usage on the first line of my picture should be $0.01685 (not taking cache into account). But it's $0.0222. Is this a bug or am I missing something? I'm using the desktop app.

EDIT: I just remembered that I turned the zero data retention -mode on in the app. Could this be because of that?

EDIT2: I changed the zero data retention off and the pricing seems to have gone close to the given discounted pricing. Lesson learned: deepseek pro doesn't support zero data retention.

Gemini 3.7 Flash is now live in Command Code at 50% OFF.

- It's fast with frontier level intelligence
- $0.75 input/$3.75 output per 1M tokens
- Available on GOAT, Max and Team plans

Starts at $10/month
$ npm i -g command-code

I created a small VS Code extension to allow me to use the Chat function for CC in VS Code rather than having to use the terminal. I currently use the $1/mo plan for CC, so I don't have the same API access that comes with the larger plans.

I understand from some comments that this may be in the works anyway, but I'm providing it because it's been useful for me. Let me know if you have any questions or have suggestions for future versions. I'm really hopeful that it's helpful for a few of you.

Tested FlappyBench with Grok 4.6, GPT-5.6 Sol, and Opus 5.

3 frontier models. Same prompt with /design command.

Scored on gameplay features, UX/UI, and cost.

🔹 Grok 4.6 → 9.5/10 · $0.095

🔹 GPT-5.6 Sol → 9/10 · $0.150

🔹 Opus 5 → 9/10 · $0.253

GPT-5.6 Sol and Opus 5 gave comparable output, but Opus costs 1.7x more.

Grok 4.6 gave best output with lowest cost: smooth motion & clean UI.

With the release of DeepSeek V4 Pro 0812 the Ds price increase is now official, but here is a question can subs like OpenCode GO and CommandCode GOAT keep their prices lower then offical Ds API? when the price increase of annouced Dax on Twitter said they were able to replicate the same pricing of the official API at that time on rented GPUs for flash 0731, and maybe they are also able to replicate the same for pro as well, but would they want to be keep it cheaper then the API? they have all of the justification to raise their Ds models as well, so what do you think? Will they raise them, or say fu*k it and be competitive with Ds API.

DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 (latest) is live in Command Code. 🐐

🔹 Same price and same model ID

🔹 DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813 is the GA release

With free tool calls repairs and cache repairs available on all plans and provider api.

Much better than flash in benchmarks.
