Quick test of Ornith-1.0-35B: it crashed and got stuck in a loop multiple times, even on simple tool calls.
There’s clearly potential here, but it’s not quite ready yet.
i use AI all the time as well and I support this message.
don't leave your brain at the door. use agents as a force multiplier, not a replacement of your wet ware.
Anthropic did a big strategic error. Normally they compare their models with their old models. Instead today, now that everybody knows how strong GPT 5.5 is at coding, they put it in the mix, basically showing all their customers that the benchmarks can't be trusted.
For complicated agent work, it's amazing how much GPT5.5 has improved. I found 5.2 to be very far behind Opus. Now using Opus 4.7 after 5.5 feels like a big step backwards. Gotta love this level of competion! Strong comeback for OpenAI.
@puresight I think just by starting to use it. Pi is very slim at the core so most of the learning, for me at least, was just realizing how little I actually need from the harness. Just let the LLMs do the magic.
Pi is the best harness IMO.
Tiny core, no bloat, system prompt <1k tokens.
By default Pi gives the model just four tools: Read, Write, Edit and Bash.
We have the new Array type merged into Redis! https://t.co/fmw4WIH4tI
If you have a use case or want to implement agents shared skills knowledge via ARGREP, this is the right moment to start :)
@spendergrsec Touches user-page pinning, refcounting, completion notification and failure mode includes "leaking pinned pages". 😰
I hope it's just a bug fix pushed to net before net-next.
The MTP branch just got merged in llama.cpp 💪
Time to start testing this out. Should give a nice performance boost especially with Unsloth's gguf models.

Pi is also by far the most efficient harness token wise. This makes a big difference especially with local LLMs where performance is limited or with pay-per-token API providers.
Mistral Medium 3.5, Dense 128B model with 256k context by @MistralAI . It's open weights and released under a Modified MIT License.
A solid western alternative for Chinese models like Qwen and DeepSeek. Holds up quite well in coding but still trails on efficiency and reasoning.
