Everything else feels bloated. The same model in pi will consume significantly less context for the same task as there's not piles of unchangeable system prompts being passed along (I assume), and at least compared to OpenCode the quality feels better too. I just wish Anthropic let me use my Claude subscription with pi, it's annoying having to switch between them.

(Not to mention the unmatched level of customisability)

You mean it's annoying being charged 20x more per token for the privilege of costing them less money? ;)

(In my tests, small tasks cost an order of magnitude less in a minimal harness than in Claude Code and Codex)

I use my Anthropic sub with Pi. They keep saying they're going to disallow that and then walking back the decision. Or at least I think that's what's happening.
