So far, I’ve tried Codex CLI, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and recently, Pi with local models. Pi is the leanest of them all, with just four tools: read, write, edit, and bash. Its system prompt is only under 2K tokens, and it's perfect for local models. I've been trying out Qwen 27B-MXFP8 with it, and it's much better than I expected! It doesn't have fancy bells and whistles like multi agents, but the only thing I’m missing is searching the web for documentation.
