https://qr.jim.sh/ -- This is a real TrueType/OpenType font that turns bracketed text into QR codes during text shaping. There is no separate image generation or preprocessing step: type text like [hello], apply the font, and the font's built-in OpenType rules render the QR code. Because the QR code is still text, you can copy and paste the rendered QR block as ordinary characters, store it in plain text, or mix it inline with regular Latin text. Text outside brackets remains readable.

I use it with GitHub - mitsuhiko/pi-ds4: Run deepseek4 locally on metal right from within Pi · GitHub, which allows me to call GitHub - antirez/ds4: DeepSeek 4 Flash local inference engine for Metal and CUDA · GitHub directly from within pi, without having to start a separate server.

Running Cohere North Mini 1.0

via

uv tool install git+http://github.com/Blaizzy/mlx-vlm
uv run mlx_vlm.server --model CohereLabs/North-Mini-Code-1.0

Add this following line to ~/.pi/agent/models.json under providers key:

"mlx-lm": {
      "baseUrl": "http://localhost:8080/v1",
      "api": "openai-completions",
      "apiKey": "none",
      "models": [
        {
          "id": "CohereLabs/North-Mini-Code-1.0"
        }
      ]
    },

Pi will use the above server running on port :8080:

pi --provider mlx-vlm --model CohereLabs/North-Mini-Code-1.0

The above will download the weights.
