Pi v0.78.0 adds session names, file links

ANNOUNCEMENT PRODUCT GITHUB PRODUCT HUNT X

Pi v0.78.0 adds startup session naming across interactive, print, JSON, and RPC modes, and turns file tool titles into clickable OSC 8 links in supported terminals and tmux clients. It also exposes convertToPng, parseArgs, and Args for extensions while fixing provider-specific message, thinking, streaming, and ANSI wrapping issues.

// ANALYSIS

This is the kind of release that matters to power users more than casual observers: small surface-area changes, but they remove friction in real terminal workflows and make Pi easier to extend.

–Startup session names make multi-session work easier to track across interactive and non-interactive modes.
–OSC 8 file links are a practical quality-of-life upgrade for anyone reading tool output in modern terminals.
–Exporting parsing and conversion helpers signals a more stable extension surface for package authors.
–The fixes point to Pi’s real-world breadth: multiple model providers, thinking metadata, streaming behavior, and terminal rendering all needed tightening.
–Overall, this reads as a mature maintenance release for an OSS coding agent, not a flashy feature drop.

Claude Code defaults to Opus 4.8

Claude Code v2.1.154 promotes Opus 4.8 to the default high-effort model, adds dynamic workflows that can orchestrate work across dozens to hundreds of background agents, and improves fast mode economics and speed on Opus 4.8. The release also refines cleanup flows with a lighter `/simplify` path, renames effort labels for clarity, and tightens several CLI and agent workflows for heavier terminal-based coding sessions.
