Among the user base of AI programming tools (OpenClaw/Coding), how to balance high-frequency tasks with computing costs has always been a core pain point. Today, leading large model company StepZen officially launched a monthly subscription plan designed for developers — Step Plan. This new plan, humorously referred to as the "Shrimp Farming Package," aims to provide more cost-effective computing power support for users who heavily rely on AI programming and Agent tasks.
The initial lineup is full of highlights, fully integrating the highly praised Step3.5Flash model. As the global developer community's "King of Speed and Logic," Step3.5Flash will default to ultra-fast mode in the Step Plan, allowing users to enjoy a "racing" inference experience without any additional fees.
Four tiers precisely cover usage, doubling the value
To suit different development needs, Step Plan introduces a complete matrix from basic to top-end: including Flash Mini for simple tasks, Flash Plus for daily development, Flash Pro for heavy use, and Flash Max for team production.
Notably, StepZen showed strong expansion intent in this pricing. In the same price tier, the new package doubles the resource usage, ensuring developers have enough "shrimp high-energy feed" when handling intensive coding tasks.
To reward the core technology ecosystem, StepZen specially launched a "half-price subscription" exclusive offer for the developer community. Qualified developers can enjoy the half-price launch benefit by joining through designated channels. This precise concession targeted at vertical communities clearly aims to build a deeper brand moat in the AI programming field.
