Good morning, it's October 16th, 2026. Welcome to Pi Mono.
The lead story is guardrails for the model catalog, after a protocol change broke released clients.
Earlier, the Kimi coding provider was switched to Open A-I chat completions at the new coding endpoint. Released clients only speak Anthropic messages for Kimi and ignore the per-model protocol flag, so they built the wrong request URL and got 404s. That change was reverted, then re-landed with the minimum Pi…
A second theme is correctness when switching models mid-conversation. Pull request 11000 stops sending another model's private reasoning as plain text, which had leaked into visible answers. A related fix preserves images in error tool results for Anthropic and Claude on Bedrock by replacing them with placeholders…
Third, platform groundwork. Durable storage now supports table name prefixes for shared SQLite databases, and output buffering moves to Chord for reuse. On the extension side, a merged fix makes custom overlays close their own overlay instead of the topmost one, while an open proposal adds hierarchical activity…
What's next to watch: open fixes for streaming parse throttling, Gemini thinking levels,…
