Indie dev launches $5/mo open-model subscription with OpenAI-compatible API
bakatristan · reddit · 2026-10-04
An indie founder on Reddit unveiled a monthly subscription for open models that works like Codex but isn't tied to one coding app — the OpenAI-compatible API key can be plugged into coding agents, chat clients, or your own apps.
- Plans start at $5/month, currently including MiMo V2.6 Pro, MiMo V2.6 Flash, and GLM
- Uses 5-hour and weekly usage limits instead of per-token billing
- Higher tiers add more usage, context, and concurrency, up to 1M context
The author is soliciting feedback on whether users would prefer this over pay-as-you-go for agents, and which open models to add.
