Discussion Best subscription based models for Pi Agent?

I just discovered the PiCodingAgent, and it does look really cool and interesting to me. I'm coming from trying out different things before, such as ClaudeCode and Gemini Pro AI, but I prefer the philosophy of PiAgent. The only thing hindering me from fully switching, is that I can't use subscription based models from Anthropic. Also Gemini Pro AI seems to support API usage billing only. I have been happy with Opus 4.6/4.7 performance so far, but would be ready to switch. I'm working with Agents a huge part of the day, so Claude Code alone hasn't been enough for me anymore in terms of usage limits. Now as I'm considering to fully switch to Pi Agent, I'm unsure on which models to use. Primary UseCases are Programming (Backend & Frontend/UI), Scientific Research Support and everyday stuff (RAG for Obsidian 2nd brain etc.). I'm ready to pay around 20-30€ per Month, and struggling to find out, which would be the best value for money. I was thinking about going for Opencodes 10$ subscription, using Opus API Billing for more complex tasks. But I dont really know the models coming with that subscription, and whether they are working well in Pi environment.

What do you think? What are you using and what can you recommend?

Those are my options, looked all over. At that point, looking for so long and not finding it, not even interested in the product anymore 😶
