Pi Coding Agent v0.73.0 adds bash streaming
Pi v0.73.0 is a mostly quality-of-life release with one important breaking change: the built-in `xiaomi` provider now uses Xiaomi API billing instead of the Token Plan path, and `XIAOMI_API_KEY` now points to the API billing key. The update also makes bash tool output stream as commands run, improves compact rendering for `read` output in interactive sessions, and fixes several provider/runtime issues including model metadata for Qwen and MiniMax, Bedrock Claude Opus 4.7 thinking behavior, and OpenAI Codex WebSocket fallback handling.
This reads like a practical operator-focused release rather than a flashy feature drop. The streaming bash output is the highest day-to-day win, while the Xiaomi change is the one thing that can break existing setups if users do not migrate carefully.
- –`xiaomi` is no longer the same provider path, so existing Token Plan users need to switch to the new regional `xiaomi-token-plan-*` providers.
- –Incremental bash streaming should make long-running commands feel much more responsive in the CLI.
- –Collapsed `read` output for docs and context files should reduce noise in interactive workflows.
- –The compatibility fixes are targeted but important: provider metadata, Bedrock thinking, and Codex transport fallback all reduce edge-case failures.
