OpenCode Team Tests DeepSeek Flash for All Subagents, Opus 5.5 Only on Primary

Key Info

The OpenCode team is running a week-long experiment in which all subagents are switched to DeepSeek Flash, with Opus 5.5 used only on the primary subagent.

Highlights

• All subagents are being routed to DeepSeek Flash during the experiment.
• Opus 5.5 is retained exclusively for the primary subagent.
• The setup reflects a cost/capability split between orchestration and subtask execution.
• Described as an experiment, so results are not yet reported.
