What decisions is Mario making that you disagree with? My impression is Pi is minimal so any changes can live on top of Pi without needing to maintain a fork? I started developing my own coding agent after using Pi for a couple months, so I’m curious what you don’t like about pi.

When I hear Mario talk about pi and his approach I find myself agreeing with a lot of it. But I also find myself agreeing with a lot of the points from this https://www.thevinter.com/blog/bad-vibes-from-pi

the opinions in question are that bash should be enabled by default with no restrictions, that the agent should have access to every file on your machine from the start, and that npm is the only package manager worth supporting. Bold choices.

To save others a click, though the article is worth reading.

He also mentions no subagents by default in pi as well.

At least if its unavailable Claude Code can't churn through an entire session limit in 30 minutes, looping, produce nothing (but noted it found a whole bunch of problems), and then when asked to just fix what it found, forget and start again. I honestly can't find anything it's good at anymore, even really simple problems a child could solve. Giving Codex a much more complex task, it not only identified it within a couple of minutes, it produced targeted tests and kept iterating unattended until it figured it out without any help, instead of idiot synonyms for thinking...

I can't even send them an angry message because clicking "Get help" does nothing.

I don't think there are many other companies serving Claude.

At least Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. What more do you want?

Came here to say this. At Kilo Code we aren’t impacted by this because of the other places that can run Claude

If you are paying API rates (not using Max subscriptions) there's no reason to use Anthropic's API directly, the same models are hosted by both AWS and Google with better uptime than Anthropic.

The enterprise tier is API pricing only. https://support.claude.com/en/articles/9797531-what-is-the-e...

Enterprise adds IAM, logging, and analytics, all of which AWS provides for free or for metered usage without needing an enterprise plan.

They'll cut you a private offer for bedrock tokens but bedrock has a 32k output limit

isnt that an input limit from api gateway?

> has our executive team furious And yet they will continue to spend wheelbarrows full of money with Anthropic because they want so badly to reach the point where they can fire you.

I think there is alot of baseless fury behind your words, but my regular interactions with my leadership dont lead me to think they have the end goal of replacing labor. We're blessed to have leadership with technical backgrounds, so the tools are regarded more as significant intelligence enhancers of already exceptionally smart engineers, rather than replacements. Doesnt seem to us to be wheelbarrows of money, when…

Hardly baseless when people have been gloating about how programming as a job is ending any day now for the last year at least.

> Doesnt seem to us to be wheelbarrows of money, when you consider the average AWS/Azure bill.

You didn’t mention the size of the company so yeah.

More than by the downtime I am much more surprised by the actual uptime. Hard to imagine how difficult this must be, given the speed of growth.

Would have thought that compared to training the serving part is pretty easy. Less of a “everything needs to come together at once” and more just move demand to a working cluster if one bombs & have some spare capacity
