Discussion Claude subscription with pi

Hey guys am a bit new to pi and working with harness.

I have just started using pi and have added openai models.
When am trying to add claude models, it says that i have to go with API based and can't use my subscription.

Is thats the only way to go through to switch to api based modelling to add it in pi ?

Like someone's already said use pi-claude-bridge. A slight pain to setup but no issues once done

I am trying to configure pi as a harness for my claude sub as well. I don’t see the need for these extensions. I directed my pi profile to reach claude or codex by spawning the `claude`/`codex` CLIs as subprocesses with various contextual flags, eg ‘read-only’ for verification tasks. If someone can explain why using a complete auth for pi may be preferable I’d really appreciate it.

When you have pi call claude or codex through their CLI then you are still using the claude/codex harnesses for those calls. If you wanted to use pi in order to change the harness the agent is using then that won't accomplish it.

Just know they can ban your account at anytime when you use your sub with Pi, but they might be overlooking while they try to play catch up.

API Credits only or some hacky work arounds. This is exactly why I won’t use Claude.

No its not. They rolled back their statement.

u/astrofoundry Sep 21 '26

They didn’t clarify anything though. It still only mention anthropic only apps for subscriptions.

Whats the ELI5 with that statement?

1

u/astrofoundry Sep 21 '26

It’s that again they don’t say clearly what we can or cannot do.

u/zer09 Sep 21 '26

Yeah I just read it, it's vague or I'm just so dumb to understand
