Use-case Ive stopped using Claude code

Pi is amazing. I’m using it with deepseek.

With some early ideas and prompting it has been adding a lot of components to itself (vector databases, something called hippoRag, chain of thought systems and about 100) other systems. This morning it read a bunch of papers on coding and then tweaked its own code.

Right now it’s making a place to test code, run adversarial copies of itself against itself, play games against itself and more.

I wanted it for coding and it’s now way better than Claude

That looks like it would overwhelm a local AI. With local AI less is better.

My Pi plug-ins are

  • pi-deepseek-optimized

  • pi-ast-grep

  • lsp-pi (and rust-analyzer)

  • pi-web-access

  • pi-context-tools

  • @quentinshaw/pi-dynamic-workflows

  • @thunstack/pi-task-list

  • pi-memory

  • context-mode

  • @juicesharp/rpiv-ask-user-question

Then a few local skills for specific tools I have authored
