There is no subscription for 1st party deepseek models, the ones that exist are all fronting as middlemen for discounted openrouter providers that serve quantized models with worse cache retention. The only real option for deepseek has been API for a few months now.

oai and anthropic also subsidize the hell out of their subs compared to what you will find in smaller competitors, a $20 codex sub gets you like $100-150 usage/wk which goes way further than 2x opencode go (which would only net out to $120 of deepseek 4.1 usage a month, on top of being low performing quantized trash).

Cache is cache, you can't get better cache than... cached...

For $20/month subscription, Charm Hyper gives you $12.50 per day, for a total of $350 per month. Like I've mentioned in other comments, OpenCode Go performance and rates are terrible now, there are several better options.

Quantization is not trash, there's a year of evidence that shows Q4 provides ~4% degradation and Q8 provides ~1% degradation, and you don't need that severely quantized to gain benefits in inference performance.

> Both Luna and Haiku are more expensive than DS4.1 Flash at API cost

Are they. Luna uses way less tokens for identical tasks so its a bit of an apples to oranges comparison.
