Why this entire tool chain instead of building within something like pi code?

I've been exploring this area and a project like https://github.com/itayinbarr/little-coder (not my work) lets me mix and match with my current setup or any plugins built for pi.

Mainly because I have plenty of use cases and not all of them need or want pi. Forge isn't an orchestration framework and is not coding specific, it lives one level lower - if I understand pi correctly.

The proxy mode should integrate seamlessly, and the middleware guardrail mode could be lifted into pi.

As for little coder, I love it! I wanted forge to be more generic than just agentic coding as there's many more agentic workflows worth optimizing with small models.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I have some smaller 3080's I'm looking to place and this sounds like a good opportunity.
