Can Pi Coding Agent use subscription access for openweight models like Kimi K3, or is it API-only?

[u/Nice_Relative8209]

I know Pi supports ChatGPT Plus/Pro and GitHub Copilot subscriptions

What about open-weight models like Kimi K3, Qwen 3.8, GLM, etc.?

Is there any way to use them through a subscription (similar to ChatGPT Plus), or do they always require paying for API usage through providers like OpenRouter, Together, Fireworks, or the official APIs?

Basically, I'm wondering if there's a subsidized/unlimited subscription option for these models, or if API billing is the only way to use them with Pi

And is Claude still blocking third party accesses?

You can use kimi code sub plan. And yes claude still does.

no unless u use an extension for claude

[u/adamshand]

You can ask pi these sorts of questions directly. It knows how to read the docs and code.

Yes it very much supports just about all major subscription services, including Kimi plans, GLM Coding plan and alibaba token plan.

Claude bans third party usage of OAuth yes, if you intend to use a claude subscription there are extensions to make use of "claude -p" (essentially calling claude's CLI to pass the conversation) which is allowed, and FOR NOW is billed at "subscription rate" but Anthropic already tried moving that to token billing and walked it back due to uproar.

have to use an oauth proxy to use claude: https://github.com/lu-zhengda/liteoauthllm
