🚀 Release@PiChangelog
Pi v0.85.1: GPT-6 Astra via OpenAI API keys and Codex; fixes 0.85.0 SDK import break
Pi Changelog ships v0.85.1: GPT-6 Astra is available via OpenAI API keys and OpenAI Codex subscriptions, and SDK import failures from 0.85.0 accidentally published experimental code are fixed. Experimental/plugin subpaths and server/client commands are now source-only via pi-test.sh; local SDK and stdio RPC API stay unchanged.

Pi: official TypeScript extensions demo — git checkpoints, run_tests tool, /undo
Pi (@pidotdev) highlights extensions as a favorite feature: TypeScript modules that extend pi behavior. Their example extension git-commits a checkpoint before every turn, gives the model a run_tests tool, and adds /undo to roll the session back — safer agent loops with recovery.

VS Code 1.136: experimental multi-root agent sessions for Copilot/Claude Chat
VS Code 1.136 release notes confirm experimental multi-root workspace support in the editor window. Developer @Marwan_3atef notes enabling chat.agentHost.copilotAgent.multiRootEnabled (and the Claude twin) lets Copilot/Claude Chat operate across every folder in a multi-root workspace. Hooks still pin to one primary folder, so monorepos with multiple .github/hooks trees must pick a home base.

Spotify: Portal shunt plugin offloads Claude Code I/O to cheap models — ~90% token savings
Spotify Engineering describes Portal AiKA Modes plus a Claude Code plugin called shunt: PreToolUse hooks intercept large-file Read/bash I/O and route work through Portal CLI bulk-reader / code-writer modes (examples use Gemini 2.5 Flash), keeping frontier Claude for real reasoning. Across four Java monorepo scenarios, mean bulk-read savings were about 90% Claude tokens. Install from the spotify/portal-ai-plugins marketplace.

Machine-readable /api/v1 for models, pricing, plans, and leaderboards. Built for agents, not just browsers.
How
How the data stays honest
01
Edited by humans
All data lives in a JSON file in our public git repo. Every change is a PR, fully audited.
02
Verified by robots
A daily script fetches each vendor's pricing page and confirms our numbers still appear in it.
03
Flagged when stale
If a vendor changes their page and verification fails, the row gets a yellow badge and the failure reason is shown.
04
No paid placement
Vendors cannot pay to be added, removed, or re-ranked. There is no advertising. The site is funded by the operating company.
