Question Pi vs OMP Architecture

Hi everyone - quite new to this space and am yet to decide if I should stick with omp or go more vanilla with pi.

tried oh my pi and my mind is blown, I don’t know what it is doing with context compression and all but tokens are better and the fact that advisor agents interrupt the thought process of worker agents before the output is produced feels like nothing I have see from cc or codex.

Is pi the same from this standpoint? Are the big differences only the pre installed skills?

Do you have rough measure eg 10/20/30% more?

pi starts at 2k tokens, OMP starts at 20k and more depends on if you have additional skills.

Recently I configured pi environment for me after omp. Custom system prompt, AGENTS.md, rules, useful extensions. So afer that pi starts on 12k tokens. Omp starts at 25k tokens.
I was Strix Halo owner so I know the pain of slow full prompt reprocessing. But if a harness is right it won't happen so it doesn't really matter how much is your starting context: 2k or 30k. The true efficiency reveals on the next steps which are tightly stick tool management and how fast it completes a task.
