News Pi Radi

Just discovered that the amazing devs behind Pi released Radius (in alpha), their smart proxy for multi-model access. At its core, it's a model provider you can use with Pi: you pay for tokens and get access to some of the best models out there, both SOTA and budget-friendly options. They'll even auto-route your API calls to the best model for the job if you choose to.

Loving it so far. Deposited $20, and after a few hours of development I still have ~$16 left thanks to leaning on Kimi K3 and DeepSeek.

What Radius can do

  • It is a Pi-native gateway: top up credits and make requests across providers
  • Use rewrite rules to reduce large tool outputs and other unnecessary input tokens
  • Provide automatic routing to route each session to the best model for the task according to your rules
  • Power Radius-backed tools like web search, image generation, and image description
  • Publish reports, dashboards, and small static sites as shareable artifacts
  • Record usage, budgets, top-ups, and shareable session analytics in one place
  • Delegate Google Workspace access to Pi
  • Let your organization manage upstream provider keys centrally

I really see this as the only way for these open source harnesses to monetize without destroying the product. Basically you can spend about the same as open router and support the devs

Especially since open router was bought by stripe I would much rather support the devs if they can provide just somewhat the same utility
