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).

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

  It's in the JSONs in ~/.claude, but last 30 days only I think. You can have the model analyze history. So for correct history you'd need to run history analysis on a cron job or something. Kinda hacky.

    The 30 day limit can be overridden by adding "cleanupPeriodDays": 9999 to .claude/settings.json

I've been using omp with deepseek as my task and quicktask agents, and sonnet as everything else. It's drastically reduced my AI spend. I went from spending $40/day to $10/day.

  Have you tried reasonix? https://github.com/esengine/deepseek-reasonix https://github.com/esengine/deepseek-reasonix

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.

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.
