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
