Generative UI Is the New Frontend

Pi Coding Agent.

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.

How's Your Attention Span? - by Alessandra Codinha

I’ll give you a program to follow every night, a very simple program. For the next thousand nights, before you go to bed every night, read one short story. That’ll take you ten minutes, 15 minutes. Okay, then read one poem a night from the vast history of poetry... Read the great poets, go back and read Shakespeare, read Alexander Pope, read Robert Frost. But one poem a night, one short story a night, one essay a night, for the next 1,000 nights. From various fields: archaeology, zoology, biology, all the great philosophers of time, comparing them. I want you to read essays in every field. On politics, analyzing literature, pick your own. But that means that every night then, before you go to bed, you’re stuffing your head with one poem, one short story, one essay—at the end of a thousand nights...

Learn Harness Engineering

A harness doesn't "make the model smarter"; rather, it establishes a closed-loop working system for the model.

Alternatives to Github Actions:

• CodeRabbit
• Pullfrog -- open source CodeRabbit alternative that runs in GitHub Actions. see

Configure Pullfrog to review new PRs, auto-address new human reviews, triage/label issues, make plans and PRDs, autofix CI, autofix merge conflicts, or anything else—just mention @pullfrog to assign tasks.

billing:

• first 30 runs free, then pay as you go: 7¢/run plus model costs. for model costs, either:
• use Pullfrog Router to access any model at cost (no markup)
• bring your own key or Claude Code subscription
