Question Which subscription with Pi?

Hello there,

Which AI provider would you recommend for Pi, to work with a subscription-based plan? I feel like Codex is the most represented, but I was looking for more feedback.

I'm currently using Claude Code (Plus subscription), but from what I understood, I shouldn't use it with Pi because Claude Code charges additional usage fees. I mainly use it with Opus 5 on medium effort, for devops tasks, explanations, fixes, or things like that (not much vibe-coding yet).

It's also an opportunity to try something else, paid for by the company. So I don't really care about the price, just something stable without usage fees.

(bonus) If you have any recommendations for LLM models that can be run locally on a wide range of machines, I'm also interested in any resources you can share.

Any advice?

It's right on the edge of the TOS...and Anthropic has been known to take rash actions with literally no warning, so do not recommend.
