pi-openmodel-provider

A pi custom provider that connects pi to OpenModel.ai — a unified AI API gateway.

Disclaimer: This is an unofficial, community-maintained package. I am not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to OpenModel in any way. This provider simply forwards requests to the public OpenModel API using your own API key.

Note: This package only provides a model provider. It does not include an API key. You must bring your own OpenModel API key.

Install + Quick start

pi install npm:pi-openmodel-provider

Step	What to do
1️⃣	/reload (so OpenModel appears in /login)
2️⃣	/login → "Use a subscription" → OpenModel → "Paste API key manually" → paste your key
3️⃣	/reload (so models load)
4️⃣	Ctrl + L or /model openmodel/deepseek-v4-flash to select your model

Done! You can now use OpenModel in pi.

Usage

After setup, select any OpenModel model:

/model openmodel/deepseek-v4-flash

Press Ctrl + L to open the model selector and browse available models.

Models

Models are fetched live from OpenModel's API at startup, so new models show up without a package release.

Supported Providers

Provider	Models
OpenAI	GPT-5.x family
Anthropic	Claude Opus/Sonnet/Haiku
Google Gemini	Gemini Flash/Pro
DeepSeek	DeepSeek V4 (1M context)
Alibaba Qwen	Qwen3.x family
Xiaomi (MiMo)	Mimo v2.x
Moonshot (Kimi)	Kimi K2.x
MiniMax	MiniMax M2.x/M3
ZAI (GLM)	GLM-4.x/5.x

Model discovery

On startup, the provider fetches:

https://api.openmodel.ai/v1/models

Pricing

OpenModel does not yet expose model pricing through its Provider API. The provider ships a static cost table (PROVIDER_DEFAULTS and PRICING_OVERRIDES in src/models.ts) for known models so that pi can display per-model pricing.

• Models present in the provider defaults show their estimated per-million-token rates.
• Models not in the table fall back to zero cost.

Features

• 41 models from 9+ providers (dynamically fetched)
• 3 protocols: Messages (Anthropic), Responses (OpenAI), Gemini (Google)
• Model stability metrics via /openmodel-stability
• 1M context window for DeepSeek V4 models
• No hardcoding — new models appear automatically

Commands

/openmodel                Show provider status
/openmodel-stability      Show health metrics for all models
/openmodel-stability <model>  Show detailed metrics for a specific model

Stability explained

The /openmodel-stability command shows how healthy each model is:

Symbol	Meaning	Condition
✅ Operational	Healthy	≥99.9% success + enough data
🟢 Healthy	Good	≥99% success
🟡 Degraded	Some issues	≥95% success
🔴 Unstable	Problems	<95% success
⚪ No Data	Not enough info	<10 requests (low confidence)

✅ deepseek-v4-flash  100.0%   8541ms   136.4 t/s
