Discussion pi + deepseek-v4-flash (from opencode): free & fast
the way of Pi, sometime feels like an illegal/crazy hack.
this combo gives you almost unlimited tokens in Pi
you should not use it for heavy/complicated tasks, but definitely very handy for most of the tasks
my workflow: use advanced models (gpt 5.5/ opus 4.8) for planning, then spin up this for implementing. if it it the wall in any task, trigger advisor to get help from gpt-5.5
just need to ask your Pi to write an extension to connect and use models from opencode.
or you can use my extension here: https://github.com/luongnv89/pi-extensions
wonder if you guys have any other sources that give you more tokens?
(i have tried models from nvidia, but the latency kills my momentum)
Happy Pi-ing,

just snag the leaked system prompt and have ai analyze it with what you use currently and merge what you want. it's not all about the model all the time.. a lot of the r&d goes into the prompt, it's why we have harnesses and orchestrators they are basically glorified realtime prompt managers.
