Pi is a composition of libraries that can be used to build agents. That seems far more interesting than this “minimal” agent.

This was written in zig and built by vercel. That’s the only notable characteristics about this project.

All code agents look the same and this one is no different.



I don't think Pi is tiny because it's written in typescript and requires a javascript runtime. I definitely want a "tiny" compiled agent with no runtime requirements.

I don't think Zig is that great of a language for this, but it's better than typescript. I don't want to use Vercel software so will pass, but would love to see a more community driven effort.


For people working with small local models like Qwen 35b what's even more important us that the LLM is good at coding in the language in which the agent harness is written so that it can write skills. I really like pi but had a few instances now where Qwen wasn't able to extend it because it isn't very good at writing typescript. Does that sound familiar to anyone, and did you find any fixes?


What’s a better lang in your opinion?


Go or Rust or C++
