I've been using Pi day to day recently for simple, smaller tasks. It's a great harness for use with smaller parameter size models given the system prompt is quite a bit shorter vs Claude or Codex (and it uses a nice small set of tools by default).
That's interesting; I've found Pi really shines for rapid prototyping. Balancing minimalism and functionality is tricky, but it sounds like they're nailing it with these constraints.
For local models I've been trying it with GLM-4.7-Flash and the new LFM2 24B model. I'm excited to try it with the new Qwen3.5 models that came out today as well.
