4 things worth building with @pidotdev's Pi Durable + @CloudflareDev Durable Objects:
#1 Durable agents for high-stakes workflows
Pi Durable can identify interrupted operations and avoid automatically replaying unsafe calls. Imagine an agent refunding a customer, then crashing before it gets confirmation. You don't want it refunding the customer twice.
Pi Durable checkpoints each step, recording the intent to execute a tool call and whether it completed. After a crash, it knows which operations were interrupted. Unsafe calls aren't blindly retried, so your app can check whether the payment went through before proceeding.
#2 Shared team agents
Pi Durable + Cloudflare Durable Objects are a great foundation for multiplayer agentic coding.
A Durable Object holds the persistent agent state. Multiple clients can connect to the same session, incoming messages are queued or used to steer the agent, and updates are streamed to everyone.
Imagine an agent picking up a GitHub issue and working on a PR while teammates watch or steer the same conversation from their phones, browsers, or terminals. @pidotdev's shared-chat tutorial demonstrates this.
#3 Agents that run anywhere
@badlogicgames built a Pi Durable Android app that runs the agent harness and stores its state locally on his phone, while model calls happen remotely.
Pi Durable separates agent state from execution, with pluggable storage and execution backends. The harness can run anywhere there's a compatible JavaScript runtime, and its tools can execute on another machine. Your durable agent doesn't need an always-running terminal or cloud server just to preserve the agent's state, the harness can run locally, on a phone, or in the cloud.
#4 Build new tools on top of agent state
This is the one we're most excited about.
Pi Durable persists structured tasks, checkpoints, and interrupted operations. That means you can inspect an agent's execution state without asking the model to reconstruct what happened.
We experimented with putting Pi Durable inside a Cloudflare Durable Object and visualizing its stored state without waking the agent.
Imagine using that data to build:
- Debugging dashboards showing exactly where an agent crashed.
- Reliability metrics showing which tool calls repeatedly fail or need recovery.
- Multiplayer dashboards showing pending tasks, who steered an agent, and when.
The interesting part is that durable execution state becomes a new primitive you can build tools on top of, not just something used for crash recovery.

@Recursive_SI shipped its first model, Flint! Exciting to see they did extensive RL training on the Pi harness, so it works well out of the box.
40B MoE (2.5B active) for fast local coding. Apache 2.0.
Available now for free in Pi via Radius.
Introducing Flint, @Recursive_SIβs first model: a fast local coding model built with our automated research system, the Eureka Machine.
β’ Best-in-class fast local coding
β’ Up to 2x faster than comparable models: 125+ tokens/sec on a MacBook Pro, 150+ on RTX Spark
β’ Built from scratch in under 4 months
Private, unmetered intelligence on your own machine. Open weights available now on @huggingface, run it locally on your favorite framework or try it for free on @opencode or @pidotdev.
Introducing πππππππ-πππππππ. Run Pi, OpenCode, Codex, Claude Code, eve, fx, or your own harness durably on Vercel.
With πππππππ-πππππππ, agents automatically resume work after failures and run for hours, days, or months. https://t.co/XkqmULA2ng
i had opus 5.5 distill this 30 min lecture about pi-durable into a 7 min vid with my voice.
> qwen3 tts could do a better job cloning my voice
> the video looks great. i'm working on industrializing these kind of explanation videos.
good starting point, but i still recommend watching the full lecture for a more detailed explainer.
For your weekend reading: Build with Pi Durable on Cloudflare, a walkthrough of how to create a multiplayer chat agent, including subagents, on Durable Objects.

@niandubay@earendilworks Thanks for this. Weβre a business so inherently we mix tech and business decisions. But we operate under the principle that what is good for the tech is good for the business and making decisions that favor the business over the tech is short term greedy, long run stupid
It's an exciting day for local AI builders. You can now use local models in Pi on your RTX Spark laptop.
Weβve worked with @NVIDIARTXSpark on a guide to getting set up with llama.cpp and NVIDIAβs optimized recipes.
Hereβs how to get started β
I tried every harness under the sun and always circle back to @pidotdev.
Many offer good features, but it's all or nothing. I canβt cherry-pick what I like.
It is less effort to customize Pi, then spend time circumventing workflows that donβt fully match my needs.
There are many themes, but this one is yours. Earendil designer @BlazekMax wrote a post about the new Pi system theme. It's a banger.
