Thought Claude models can only be used through Claude Code. I was wrong, I guess.
It's not allowed, it spoofs claude code's requests. https://github.com/patriceckhart/zot/blob/main/packages/prov...

Thanks for sharing your experience with reasonix in detail. Have you tried pi? I don't think I am at your level, so I'd welcome some more advanced user's advice.
I have not tried pi! I heard of it, but I didn't look into it because Anthropic is cracking down on third-party harnesses by making them prohibitively expensive. I suppose though now that I have a DeepSeek API key due to Reasonix I can give it a shot. (even the pro model is so cheap!! I've been using it for days on multiple projects and have barely spent $1, and I think it can go much further with better prompting.)…

#23Glad to see tooling in my native language. I don’t want to touch TypeScript stuff with a ten foot pole, but sadly it seems to be the lingua franca for agentic tools. The one thing that would keep me from making the jump is CC’s auto mode.
> I don’t want to touch TypeScript stuff with a ten foot pole Why not? Is it because you need to change the code?

What's wrong with typescript? I was thinking of getting into it.

No, I’m just extremely averse to anything to do with JS/TS. The amount of bloat is insane and there’s a new supply chain attack every day at this point. Definition of a tire fire.
Re: Show HN: Zot – Yet another coding agent harness
#27I'm getting a little fatigued by all the harnesses that are made by other coding agents. Like, when I checked out opencode, it looked and felt incredibly impressive, until I looked at how frequently it completely invalidated the KV-cache. After looking at the source code, it's basically unsalvageable and I ran far far away. (It's mostly imperative garbage which is typical of undisciplined agent output. It doesn't eve…
I mostly still like Claude Code, but I agree it's getting buggy and bloated in their need to move so fast. With the June pricing changes I felt I needed to build an alternative quickly just in case, and so I can start looking at other models for my "claude -p" usage.
The videos from the makers of Pi are interesting with some useful information, but ultimately I came away deciding I would never want to use Pi.
It also helps that Pi & most harnesses don't work on a lot of older computers systems I'd like to be able to use a harness on. It's just API calls, there's no reason this shouldn't all work on much much older machines.

#28Zot seems interesting, this is the first time I see it. On a quickl look it seems like Pi, but in Go. I was hoping to embed Pi into some of our internal projects and the typescript stuff was blocking me, I'll definitely give Zot a look.

In 18min , Mario Zechner , the creator of pi will echo more or less your exact concerns as to why he developed it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjfbvDXpFls Enjoy !
