Hey, thanks for the shout-out! (I'm one of the cofounders of Synthetic.new.) I think I recognize you from Discord :)

Yep, on subscription plans DS4.1-Flash-1017 feels more or less infinite. I still reach for Astra at the high end of tasks but DS is great for cheap "repeatedly crawl the entire codebase and find query optimization" type tasks. I also use a lot of K3.1 Pro lately although admittedly it's a lot more expensive.

Also personally I find that the closed tiny models (Haiku, Luna) feel a lot less capable in practice than their benchmark scores indicate relative to DS.

That being said the closed labs own the high ground of intelligence, nothing really compares to Astra in my opinion in terms of sheer "it will achieve any task you give it," Kool-Aid-Man running through walls style capability. It's quite expensive but it's also very very capable.

I've been subscribed to Synthetic for months and it's a great service [I didn't put you first in my list because I don't want to shill :^)]

I just checked out your Go plan and noticed the GLM 5.3 Flash credits are pretty low compared to the other flash models. Is there any plans to change that?
