Cline says two of its largest tasks in the last 30 days each processed 9B tokens, costing about $8,500 on Claude Opus 5 versus about $300 on DeepSeek V4 Pro. The post says that is roughly 30x cheaper for the same token count, letting users run large-horizon work without spending thousands or waiting on limit resets.
Two of the largest tasks in Cline the last 30 days:
- 9B tokens on Claude Opus 5: ~$8,500
- 9B tokens on DeepSeek V4 Pro: ~$300
That's about 30x cheaper for the same token count.
You don't need to spend thousands or wait on limit resets to get large-horizon work done anymore.
