    The problem is that Pi, on any third party harness, cannot really compete with codex or cc due to subscriptions.

      Pi supports OpenAI login for ChatGPT subscriptions.

      Every 3rd party open-source harness I know of supports ChatGPT subscriptions.

        Isn't this against TOS of OAI?

          No. It’s against Anthropics TOS though.

          It isn’t explicitly allowed in OAI’s TOS, however they publicly support Pi and OpenCode’s usage of their Oauth, and because Codex is open-source, it means the machinery to support Oauth login is open-source under Apache 2.0
