Unlike Claude Code or OpenCode, Pi has a minimal context footprint, making it well-suited for local LLMs with limited context windows. The author runs Qwen3.6-35B-A3B via llama.cpp with MoE CPU offloading on an RTX 3080 Ti at ~24 t/s, and has built custom extensions connecting Pi to Docker, Podman, Home Assistant, TrueNAS, Redis, and log monitoring systems. A permission-enforcement extension is also used to require approval before any sudo-level actions. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
