[Pi Coding Agent](https://pi.dev/).

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

## Running Cohere North Mini 1.0

[via](https://x.com/Prince_Canuma/status/2064437722689962242)

```
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:

```json
"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.
