    I have been using OpenCode for most work related stuff now. It works well with my ChatGpt Pro subscription as well as with our locally hosted Qwen3.8.

    Is it worthwhile to spend time and effort into setting up and switching to Pi? I always see people praising Pi online but I am curious to know from people who switched over from OpenCode why they did so and what I am missing.

      I feel like the models work better in the more minimalist harness. It's totally anecdotal but I feel like the models get lost whenever I run them in OpenCode. Sort of like the "10x"-engineer who overengineers everything.

        Not anecdotal at all. Context bloat in Opencode pushes models into the dumb zone sooner.

          I' ve heard so. But I'd still consider my opinion anecdotal because I haven't done any research into the subject (or measured it myself) really. All I've done is tried both harnesses.
