    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.

      I am also using pi exclusively after having had decent success with openhands but begrudging all of the docker infrastructure ... and all of the emojis.

      My only pain point is that in my extremely common and boring workflow, which is pi inside of gnu screen inside of OSX terminal.app ... all reasoning/thinking text is blinking ... like old fashioned ANSI blink on a BBS.

      I cannot figure out how to disable the blinking thought/reasoning text ...

        If you love your terminal app and won't switch to Ghostty or WezTerm, at least try tmux instead of the venerable but ancient GNU screen.

          Alacritty plus Zellij works great for me. Much easier to use than tmux

            Didn't know about Zellij, seems very good, thank you!
