Does Pi work with Standard Compute?

Yes. Pi supports a custom OpenAI-compatible base URL, so it works with Standard Compute. Set the base URL to https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1, paste your API key, and set the model to "standardcompute".

What base URL do I use for Pi?

Use https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1 as the OpenAI-compatible base URL in Pi, with your Standard Compute API key and the model "standardcompute".

Do I need to change my code or model names?

No. The request and response format is identical to OpenAI's, and "standardcompute" is a single model identifier that routes to the best frontier model for each request — so you never pick or update model names.

Use Standard Compute with Pi

Mario Zechner's radically minimal open-source terminal coding agent — four core tools, a fast TUI, and TypeScript extensions for the rest. Connect using your SC key, base URL, and model settings. Check the capabilities your workflow needs.

standardcompute

Use standardcompute for SC routing, or an exact supported model ID to pin a model. Find IDs on the Models page.

Where to set them in Pi

The connection settings for Pi.

Open ~/.pi/agent/models.json (create it if it doesn't exist).
Add a provider using the OpenAI API format with the Base URL below and your API key.
Add standardcompute as its model and select it in pi.

Get more out of Pi

More tasks to run, more code to test, more work to ship. Standard Compute helps your AI spend cover more of it.

Make your AI spend go further

Get more compute for the work you want to do. Standard Compute compares provider prices and performance automatically, so you spend less time shopping for inference.

More work from your compute

Routine agent steps can use efficient models, while demanding tasks get frontier intelligence. Smart routing puts those options to work together to stretch your compute.

Keep your agent and your projects

Connect Standard Compute using the setup below. Your coding workflow stays familiar, with one subscription and more capacity available as your agent use grows.
