Pier Code

Pier Code is an AI coding agent for your terminal, powered by sovereign open source models.

Excited to share what’s next for Pier.

This week, we’re shipping major harness upgrades, starting with deeper support for Pier Hybrid, sovereign Indian models and a complete rethink of how long-running engineering tasks fit into your daily developer flow.

Our goal is simple: make Pier the indispensable utility every engineer reaches for reliable, seamless, and always in sync with how you actually work.

Thank you for the feedback that got us here. More coming very soon. 🚀

We recently passed 500 active users on https://t.co/pJr6JjJ4ib.

Thank you to everyone who's tried Pier, shared feedback, reported bugs, and trusted us with your workflows.

We're just getting started. ❤️

Pier launched a month ago and has already crossed 1,000+ users. From v1.5.0 we're open-sourcing it.

Clone it, run it locally, bring your own key, Sarvam AI or any model via OpenRouter. Full prompts, harness, and agent loop are yours to read and hack on.

@SarvamAI Registered! Looking forward to meeting the Sarvam team and fellow builders. See you at Epoch 🚀

We're looking for a talented video editor to create a product launch video for Pier Code.

If that's you, just DM your single best piece of work, no long introductions or huge portfolios. We'd love to see what you can do.

[Pier Code @getpiercode]

Appreciate the thoughtful feedback! This started as a hobby project to push how far Sarvam models could go in a real terminal coding agent. It’s since evolved into a home-grown harness we’re genuinely excited and working towards.

You’re right, Opencode is a far more mature product right now (as are Claude Code and Codex). We’re early, and we know it.

The bet is that sovereign models will keep catching up fast, and if we can nail distribution + a solid harness built for them, we can go toe-to-toe with the best in the market.

Thanks again for the honest take and the school/education suggestion, that’s genuinely helpful!

Pier Code starts at ₹499/month.

🇮🇳 Built for Indian developers, powered by Sarvam 30B, Sarvam 105B, and Pier-Hybrid, so you can spend less time worrying about token costs and more time shipping.

Available for macOS, Linux & Windows.

[Pier Code @getpiercode]

They're both on the roadmap. We plan to expand our model catalog further, including frontier open models, and over time we'd like to self-host where it makes technical and economic sense.

Our priority today is building a great product and establishing it in the market. Once we've done that, we'll gradually open up more of the project and roll out these initiatives.

We'll start posting our roadmap, track issues and documentation here soon: https://t.co/CXMRIKbVCq

@rawcurrency Thank you! About the limits, I personally ran it for a week, consumed net 100M tokens and that deducted barely Rs 80-85 from my credits.

We're developing fast, hopefully this will catch up with the market 😄

[Pier Code @getpiercode]

Fair take. We know today's Sarvam models have limitations.

That's one reason we've expanded our model catalog. Our biggest investment is in the agent itself, planning, context handling, reliability, and long-running workflows.

Foundation models will keep improving. If we build the right harness today, Piercode gets better with every new model release. That's the long-term bet we're making. 🇮🇳🙂

[Pier Code @getpiercode]

OpenCode + Claude is a great option for many developers.

We're taking a different approach by building an affordable, home-grown coding agent with our own stack and improving it rapidly. We're still in the early innings, and we know there's plenty of work ahead. Thanks for the feedback.

[Pier Code @getpiercode]

@KridayTop We fixed the checkout issue earlier today. Could you try again when you get a chance?

If you're still running into problems, please DM us the email you used at checkout and we'll investigate right away.

[Pier Code @getpiercode]

Another reminder of why sovereign, home-grown AI models matter.

Nations that invest in their own AI capabilities won't have to depend on decisions made elsewhere.

India has a real opportunity to catch up and I believe we will.

CHINA CONSIDERS RESTRICTING OVERSEAS ACCESS TO CUTTING-EDGE AI MODELS

China’s Ministry of Commerce has led meetings over the past month with major AI companies, including Alibaba, ByteDance, and https://t.co/YDe0KRldDB, to discuss measures that would restrict overseas access to cutting-edge AI models, including models that have not yet been released.

The discussions reportedly include not only closed-source models but also open-weight models. However, the scope of application is still under debate, and the rules may ultimately apply only to future frontier models.

Officials have also discussed designating the leakage or theft of proprietary AI technologies as a national security crime, with stronger penalties, as well as restricting the types of foreign capital that can invest in Chinese AI startups.

The backdrop is the U.S. move to strengthen export controls on AI models, along with national security concerns over cutting-edge models that could possess advanced cyberattack capabilities.

Chinese authorities are reportedly concerned that advanced U.S. cybersecurity AI models could be used to exploit vulnerabilities in Chinese software.

Since the beginning of this year, China has continued to tighten measures to prevent AI technology from being transferred overseas. Authorities have investigated whether Chinese AI startups that relocated abroad violated export control laws, while also strengthening oversight of overseas transactions involving Chinese investors, technology, data, and national security concerns.

Future regulations could take the form of a tiered framework based on technological capability. Basic open-source AI models may be managed through a filing system, high-performance models may be subject to security reviews, and the most sensitive frontier models may be banned from public release or restricted to use within China.

@Ridhiv_Sharma Hey! We were facing temporary issue with our payment provider. Do try again 🙌🏻

Frontier models are now available in Pier v0.4.0 https://t.co/S0GlKURZvI

As an experimental preview, you can now access GPT-5.5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and Sarvam directly from the CLI.

Or simply use pier-hybrid, which automatically routes each task between fast and deep reasoning based on task complexity.

We'd love your feedback as we continue improving the experience.

Pier Code is now available on Windows.

AI coding in your terminal, built for engineers.
• Native Windows support
• Fast edits, code review, debugging & long engineering sessions

Windows developers, welcome aboard. 🚢

[Pier Code @getpiercode]

@PranavPW Testing windows release tonight, it will be available shortly.

DM us your email, we'll send you few credits to try out!

[Pier Code @getpiercode]

@SarvamAI For coding tasks, sarvam models can be used within https://t.co/pJr6JjJC7J as well! 😄

[Pier Code @getpiercode]

@Ridhiv_Sharma We're working on windows release, set for coming week!
