Pi is an AI agent toolkit offering a unified LLM API, an agent loop, a TUI and a coding agent CLI. Recent coverage centers on the Pi 1.0 release with MCP support on by default, and the team's move of MCP natively into the core; Figma limited MCP access to whitelisted clients, excluding Pi, while aweb added wake-up integrations for Pi. NVIDIA also released SoL-Pi, an optional extension with four mechanisms to cut token and inference costs.
A developer released Corgi, a Herdr-inspired agent multiplexer that unifies Codex, Claude Code and Pi sessions. It offers activity feeds, jump-to-next-unread, link copying, image paste/preview and CPU/GPU usage tracking to improve terminal ergonomics.
The open-source book Harness Engineering 101 argues the LLM is the brain and the harness is the body, since stateless LLM APIs require a program to build and protect the conversation array. Its 16 chapters grow a ~300-line Python toy agent, with patterns fully developed in open-source coding agent One Code.
Sphinx is an open-source Git hook that plugs into coding agents such as Codex, Claude Code and Cursor, quizzing developers on their diff before a push; wrong answers require another try, right ones let the push proceed. It runs on minimal tokens via OpenAI-compatible endpoints, and sphinx yolo skips checks with each skip logged.

Pi 1.0 has been released, and it now includes MCP (Model Context Protocol) support by default.

aweb gives AI agents stable identities, durable mail and chat, and wake-up events across sessions, runtimes, and machines, with independently operated servers able to federate. Its CLI and API are runtime-independent, with wake-up integrations available for Claude Code and Pi.
Figma has limited access to its MCP (Model Context Protocol) to whitelisted clients, excluding Pi. The move could affect how third-party AI tools integrate with Figma.
The Pi.dev team said it previously stated Pi did not support MCP, but now upgraded Pi natively supports MCP. The team said MCP itself has changed, and the changes needed for MCP integration also make it easier to use Jev within Pi, so it was moved into the core rather than kept as an extension. The team still sees MCP as hard to compose.
A local-LLM user posted on r/LocalLLaMA that they run Qwen 3.8 Flash Next as a driver for Hermes and Pi, asking it to add CUDA_DISABLE_PERF_BOOST=1 to their vLLM service to cut idle server power draw.

NVIDIA released SoL‑Pi, a standalone, opt‑in extension for Pi that adds four mechanisms (Action Fusion, ObservationPack, Evidence‑Preserving Reducer, Online Context Compact) to cut repeated model turns, context replay, oversized observations, and long‑log reads, lowering token and inference cost while preserving evidence.
That is everything
