Pi Has a New Home at Earendil

Pi now lives under the Earendil Works GitHub and npm organizations. The old @mariozechner packages are deprecated, and 0.74.0 is the first release from the new home. Read more.

Release notes

Pi 0.73.1

New version of pi. Download from npm or view release on GitHub.

New Features

  • Self-update support for the npm scope migration: pi update --self now supports the upcoming package rename from @mariozechner/pi-coding-agent to @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent. After the new package is published, existing global installs can update through the normal self-update flow; pi will uninstall the old global package and install the package name returned by the version check endpoint.
  • Interactive OAuth login selection: OAuth providers can now present multiple login choices in /login, enabling provider-specific interactive authentication flows. See Providers.
  • JSONC-style models.json parsing: models.json now allows comments and trailing commas, making custom provider and model configuration easier to maintain. See Providers and Custom Providers.

Added

  • Added interactive login selection support so OAuth providers can present multiple login choices (#4190 by @mitsuhiko).

Changed

  • Changed pi update --self to honor the active package name returned by the Pi version check endpoint, defaulting to the current package when omitted and uninstalling the old global package before installing a renamed package.
  • Changed extension loading to use upstream jiti 2.7 instead of the @mariozechner/jiti fork (#4244 by @pi0).
  • Changed models.json parsing to allow comments and trailing commas (#4162 by @julien-c).

Release notes

Pi 0.73.0

New version of pi. Download from npm or view release on GitHub.

New Features

  • Xiaomi MiMo API billing and regional Token Plan providers - xiaomi now uses API billing, with separate xiaomi-token-plan-{cn,ams,sgp} providers. See docs/providers.md#api-keys and README.md#providers--models. (#4112 by @Phoen1xCode)
  • Incremental bash output streaming - Bash tool output now appears while commands run instead of only after completion. (#4145)
  • Compact read rendering - Interactive read output for Pi docs, context files, and skills is collapsed by default and shows selected line ranges.

Breaking Changes

  • Switched the built-in xiaomi provider from Token Plan AMS to Xiaomi's API billing endpoint, and renamed its /login display from "Xiaomi MiMo Token Plan" to "Xiaomi MiMo". XIAOMI_API_KEY now refers to the API billing key from platform.xiaomimimo.com. Users on Token Plan should switch to the appropriate xiaomi-token-plan-* provider and set the corresponding env var (#4112 by @Phoen1xCode).

Added

  • Added three Xiaomi MiMo Token Plan regional providers visible in /login: xiaomi-token-plan-cn (XIAOMI_TOKEN_PLAN_CN_API_KEY), xiaomi-token-plan-ams (XIAOMI_TOKEN_PLAN_AMS_API_KEY), xiaomi-token-plan-sgp (XIAOMI_TOKEN_PLAN_SGP_API_KEY). Each defaults to mimo-v2.5-pro (#4112 by @Phoen1xCode).

Changed

  • Changed read tool rendering to collapse Pi documentation, AGENTS/CLAUDE context files, and SKILL.md contents by default in interactive output.

Release notes

Pi 0.72.0

New version of pi. Download from npm or view release on GitHub.

New Features

Breaking Changes

  • Replaced compat.reasoningEffortMap in models.json and pi.registerProvider() model definitions with model-level thinkingLevelMap (#3208). Migration: move old mappings from compat.reasoningEffortMap to thinkingLevelMap. Use string values for provider-specific thinking values and null for unsupported pi levels that should be hidden and skipped by cycling. See docs/models.md#thinking-level-map and docs/custom-provider.md.

Added

  • Added Xiaomi MiMo Token Plan provider support with XIAOMI_API_KEY, default model resolution, /login display support, and provider documentation (#4005 by @Phoen1xCode).
  • Added model-level thinkingLevelMap support in models.json and pi.registerProvider(), allowing models to expose only the thinking levels they actually support (#3208).
  • Added shouldStopAfterTurn agent loop callback for post-turn stop control, inherited from @mariozechner/pi-agent-core. See packages/agent/README.md.

Release notes

Pi 0.71.1

New version of pi. Download from npm or view release on GitHub.

Added

  • Added websocket-cached to the transport setting options for the OpenAI Codex provider used with ChatGPT subscription auth. This keeps the same WebSocket open for a session and, after the first request, sends only the new conversation items instead of resending the full chat history when possible.

Release notes

Pi 0.71.0

New version of pi. Download from npm or view release on GitHub.

Breaking Changes

  • Removed built-in Google Gemini CLI and Google Antigravity support. Existing configurations using those providers must switch to another supported provider.

New Features

Added

  • Added Mistral Medium 3.5 built-in model support via @mariozechner/pi-ai (#4009 by @technocidal).
  • Added routed OpenAI-compatible response model metadata in assistant messages, so providers such as OpenRouter can expose the concrete model used (#3968 by @purrgrammer).
  • Added PI_CODING_AGENT_SESSION_DIR as an environment equivalent to --session-dir (#4027).
  • Added message_end extension result support for replacing finalized messages, enabling extensions to override assistant usage cost (#3982).
  • Added top-level name support to pi.registerProvider() so extension-registered providers can show a friendly name in /login (#3956).
  • Added ctx.ui.getEditorComponent() so extensions can wrap the currently configured custom editor factory (#3935).
  • Added a thinking_level_select extension event for observing thinking level changes (#3888).

Removed

  • Removed the discontinued Qwen CLI OAuth custom provider extension example (#3832 by @4h9fbZ).
  • Removed Google Gemini CLI and Google Antigravity built-in login, default model, documentation, and example extension support.

Release notes

Pi 0.70.0

New version of pi. Download from npm or view release on GitHub.

New Features

  • Searchable auth provider login flow: the /login provider selector now supports fuzzy search/filtering, making it faster to find providers when many are configured. See docs/providers.md. (#3572 by @mitsuhiko)
  • GPT-5.5 Codex support: openai-codex/gpt-5.5 is available as a model option, including xhigh reasoning support and corrected priority-tier pricing.
  • Terminal progress indicators are now opt-in: OSC 9;4 progress reporting during streaming/compaction is off by default and can be toggled via terminal.showTerminalProgress in /settings (#3588)
  • --no-builtin-tools / createAgentSession({ noTools: "builtin" }) now correctly disables only built-in tools while keeping extension tools active. See docs/extensions.md and README.md (#3592)

Breaking Changes

  • Disabled OSC 9;4 terminal progress indicators by default. Set terminal.showTerminalProgress to true in /settings to re-enable (#3588)

Added

  • Added searchable auth provider login flow with fuzzy filtering in the provider selector (#3572 by @mitsuhiko)
  • Added GPT-5.5 Codex model
  • Added auth source labels in /login so provider entries can show when auth comes from --api-key, an environment variable, or custom provider fallback without exposing secrets.

Changed

  • Updated default model selection across providers to current recommended models.
  • Improved stale extension context errors after session replacement or reload to tell extension authors to avoid captured pi/command ctx and use withSession for post-replacement work.

Release notes

Pi 0.69.0

New version of pi. Download from npm or view release on GitHub.

New Features

Breaking Changes

  • Migrated first-party coding-agent code, SDK/examples/docs, and package metadata from @sinclair/typebox 0.34.x to typebox 1.x. New extensions, SDK integrations, and pi packages should depend on and import from typebox. Legacy extension loading still aliases the root @sinclair/typebox package, but @sinclair/typebox/compiler is no longer shimmed. This migration also picks up the new @mariozechner/pi-ai TypeBox-native validator path, so tool argument validation now works in eval-restricted runtimes such as Cloudflare Workers instead of being skipped (#3112)
  • Session-replacement commands now invalidate captured pre-replacement session-bound extension objects after ctx.newSession(), ctx.fork(), and ctx.switchSession(). Old pi and command ctx references now throw instead of silently targeting the replaced session. Migration: if code needs to keep working in the replacement session after one of those calls, pass withSession to that same method and do the post-switch work there. In practice, move post-switch pi.sendUserMessage(), pi.sendMessage(), and command-ctx/session-manager access into withSession, and use only the ReplacedSessionContext passed to that callback for session-bound operations. Footguns: withSession runs after the old extension instance has already received session_shutdown, old cleanup may already have invalidated captured state, captured old pi / old command ctx are stale, and previously extracted raw objects such as const sm = ctx.sessionManager remain the caller's responsibility and must not be reused after the switch.

Added

  • Added support for terminating tool results via terminate: true, allowing custom tools to end the current tool batch without an automatic follow-up LLM call, plus a structured-output.ts extension example and extension docs showing the pattern (#3525)
  • Added OSC 9;4 terminal progress indicators during agent streaming and compaction, so terminals like iTerm2, WezTerm, Windows Terminal, and Kitty show activity in their tab bar
  • Added ctx.ui.addAutocompleteProvider(...) for stacking extension autocomplete providers on top of the built-in slash/path provider, plus a github-issue-autocomplete.ts example and extension docs (#2983)
