As sibling said, Pi is great, and you can absolutely run it directly (there's even a plugin to use itself as a sub agent), but I mainly run it as a sub agent from other harnesses, for example running a more capable model in copilot, and then delegating simpler chunks to pi (using a cheaper model) as the sub agent. I've tried gas town and some others but never got into that way of working. I'm going to try opencode though as a less vendor specific harness than copilot/claude/gemini.

I've been using OpenCode for a few days now, I like it. It doesn't feel any "less heavy" than Claude Code (they're both massive piles of vibe-coded typescript) but for me it's essentially a 1:1 replacement for Claude Code.

Sidenote, I've been trying deepseek-v4-flash and I'm blown away. It's no Opus, but it's as cheap as tap water and punches far above its weight as a Flash model. I keep throwing tasks at it out of curiosity and it keeps solving them.
