alt Hacker Newshave used both pi and opencode for the last 6 months, haven't opened a proprietary harness (cc, codex, cursor) in that same amount of time. right now i'm on pi and i can switch seamlessly between any model across any provider i want, even mid session. can even point them at locally running models.
i think people don't realize how much better life is over on this side, cc and codex rely entirely on vendor lock in imo.

Does a mid-session provider switch result in loading the entire context into the new model, inflating session cost?
I don't think I understand the token/cost implications of this feature
Haha I pretty much commented the same thing one minute apart.
You can use Claude Code with a self hosted model no problem. I don't believe you can switch during a session though.
Are you using openrouter or something else?
codex is open source https://github.com/openai/codex/ it's definitely geared towards openai but it is completely open source

Try the role-model Pi extension I built, to let Pi determine when to switch to a different model in your pool.
