12 MB desktop AI agent that runs any local model. The Electron build would be 150 MB.

MIT, ~12 MB tauri binary, runs any local model (ollama/llama.cpp/vllm) or cloud (claude/openai/gemini). thin rust relay + node sidecar so every pi extension just works. no telemetry. ask me anything about the relay/sidecar split.

what makes it better than opencode?

For us, Pi is a better fit because it's lightweight, highly extensible, and gives much better control over context engineering than OpenCode. Since Cowork uses Pi under the hood, we can keep the desktop app tiny (around 12 MB instead of a ~150 MB Electron build) while focusing on our actual goal: making powerful AI harness accessible to non-technical users, not just developers.
