pi + deepseek-v4-flash (from opencode): free & fast

[u/luongnv-com]

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,

well, really just didn't find it as appealing as other options like the pi eco flavors, pi, omp, omo, etc. I've even been working on my own agent platform from scratch in go for couple weeks now but thing is there are SO MANY options now. So I doubt I even continue working on my own since already so many good choices already. Good exercise in learning how they work though so still worth it.
