There's another open source coding agent called Kimchi.
It's built on Pi, has a /ferment mode that auto-routes tasks to different models (very similar to how I run Pii).
Coding → MiniMax M3 (cheap, solid)
Planning → Kimi K2.7 (strong reasoning)
Codebase search → Deepseek-V4-flash (fast, dirt cheap)
Multiple subagents spin up and rotate. Kimchi says 40-60% cheaper than running a single model.
Free tier has a weekly quota, and like Pi you can plug in your own API keys.
I tried /ferment: one sentence to build a todo app. It split the task, executed, self-reviewed, opened a PR. The output was genuinely solid.
