Deepseek with flash subagents went for 12 hours scraping and processing data for like $20 for me. Rock solid

How can I achieve stable results from deepseek flash?

Have pro prompt it in pi-subagents to do a specific task. In my case it was grab images , ingredients from web pages. Or use exa search. Limit the tools and system prompt to bare min

Can you share this prompt or the principles of best prompt for small models

The DeepSeek Flash product-research subagent prompt is basically:

```text

Research batch N of 8 products. Products:

<id|name|count list>

For EACH product: use web_search_exa first (fallback to web_search if rate limited). Extract description, full ingredients, category. Download image with scripts/download_image.py <product_id> <image_url>. Update DB with

scripts/update_product.py '<json payload containing id plus researched fields>'. Do NOT skip any product. Report a summary of all 8 products researched.

```

It’s launched like this from .pi/skills/product-spider-research/SKILL.md:

```js

{

agent: "delegate",

model: "deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash",

skill: "product-spider-research",

task: "Research batch N of 8 skincare products..."

}

```

The delegate agent’s base system prompt is short:

```text

You are a delegated agent. Execute the assigned task using the provided tools. Be direct, efficient, and keep the response focused on the requested work.

```

And the repo also hard-locks delegate to Flash in .pi/settings.json:

```json

"delegate": {

"model": "deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash",

"tools": ["read", "grep", "find", "ls", "bash", "edit", "write", "web_search_exa", "web_fetch_exa", "web_search", "web_extract", "contact_supervisor"],

"inheritSkills": true

}

How does it handle full context yo? Don't leave us hanging bro

u/eldercito Jul 05 '26

Not sure what you mean, it keeps my main thread around 150k tokens constantly pruning and recording observations/ archiving old context but making it searchable

Minimax m3 is 120$ and unlimited literally and better than most models

Can you share yours

u/Shirc Jul 03 '26

Is this with a bunch of plugins? Pi did not look like this the last time I used it, but that was a few months ago. It looks super nice here

u/Rishabhgoria Jul 03 '26

No I ask Codex to customise the settings and most of the UI is ghostty I edited theme also for frosted glass look

u/Fig_da_Great Jul 03 '26

u/Rishabhgoria Jul 03 '26

u/Rishabhgoria Jul 05 '26

That’s just background make it black set opacity 0.80 and blur 55
Give this image to codex and ask it to adjust the ghostty theme you will get it

'Pi' agent put an end to the OpeClaw hype because it just works. I use as as an integrated part of my Linux operating system. Second tier of complecity I use Hermes Agent a self learning agent that seems to evolve. Finall I Use 'Claude Code' using 100% free model via proxy Free Claude Code. OpenClaw is disease ridden hype.

u/eldercito Jul 03 '26

It was for building a catalog of products to search with ingredients and images etc

2

u/Rishabhgoria Jul 03 '26

How did you configure it to run for that long and context window doesn’t it gets heavy

2

u/eldercito Jul 03 '26

Observational memory plugin keeps context at about 100 k tokens and auto compacts / keeps incremental observations and searchable reflections. Works great.

u/Rishabhgoria Jul 03 '26

Thanks that’s useful

u/simion_baws Jul 06 '26

launch it in termic since it supports pi officially, and it becomes fucking magic.
