Pi 1.0

wasting_time

So, how are people actually using Pi? Here I am with Claude Code and Codex in a terminal like a caveman.

Cool I hope to try it someday when I can run a local model good enough for coding. Until then I will probably stay with opencode for the time being.

I don't really understand the criteria for when something is 'proven' to the Pi team. Jev and the like took off less than a month ago, but MCP has been growing for nearly 2 years, and it only gets support now? Pi felt nice when I used it, and I do value keeping things minimal, but I just find the criteria very uneven.

I have been using pi a daily driver for some month now. But as a personal management system with md files and for coding. I used to have a MCP extension but recently pi added builtin support for MCP so my stack is simpler now. Thank you for keeping things simple! Simple is beautiful.

Built in codemode is rather nice. Its the feature i like the most from OMP which is Pi + lots of plugins.

This is hitting at the right time. Codex is already in the enshitification phase. They just broke their CLI version with some new thing that no one likes.

All companies with LOTR names are war profiteers right?

Pi is really good. I use it for a majority of my work. I also like Autolith. The freedom of having a lisp machine is, to me, much more enjoyable than trying to maintain Typescript. But I'm not a typescript guy. I do largely stick with Pi because it's very bulletproofed

congrats to earendil and keep up the awesome stuff.

I found oh-my-pi with Paseo to be my personal sweet spot. Checks all of the boxes I want and is the most consistent set of AI tools I've used thus far.

I love how consistent pi has been, especially in regards to not breaking ux

I know this is going to get downvoted but what drives people to use javascript of all languages to build these fundamental pieces of tooling? We have so many better options, especially now since humans aren’t writing most of the code. It’s hard to take seriously anyone that wants to make a primarily CLI tool with heavy interactivity and parallelism requirements and decides to use a joke language that happened to luck its way into prominence because of web browsers.

I like that Pi is holding the line on minimalism instead of absorbing every new trend. Curious how Pi Durable differs from existing durable-execution setups for agents

I've been full time building on pi since January and its been incredible. I'm not sure what they did to make it so easy to vibe code against but agents really just "get it".

popalchemist

Does this replace Claude Code in VS Code entirely?

Why full screen mode by default? That seems to go against the minimalist theme. I could never get acceptable inertial scrolling behaviour dialled in with other full screen implementations I tried (claude, codex, opencode).

bibstha

Is claude code or codex subscription supported by pi?

Sigh, looks like Pi's days as a nice minimal agent TUI are numbered. I guess no third-party offering can fight that entropy for long and I'll just have to polish up one of my toy projects for personal use.

Love pi. I tried to run some local models and pi was the only one that actually worked decently because it didn’t have a gargantuan system prompt that would take minutes to prefill on my scrawny ass laptop. Been running it almost barebones vanilla for a couple of months. Just a bunch of basic extensions and some skills. Now, if only they could fix the very annoying bug of the history jumping back at the beginning if I am not a the end while the model is reasoning that would great.

Run in sandbox, container, or VM?
