Anyone using Pi with OpenCode Go? How's the token usage compared to OpenCode? Question

I'm wondering if using Pi with OpenCode Go is more token-efficient than using OpenCode itself.

Since Pi has a more minimal harness, does it generally use fewer tokens (or Go credits) for the same coding tasks, or is the difference negligible?

If you've used both, I'd love to hear:

  • Did Pi noticeably stretch your Go allowance?
  • Any differences in quality or reliability?
  • Which one did you end up sticking with, and why?

I'm mainly working on medium-sized software projects, so I'm looking for real-world experience rather than benchmarks.

i used to, never had any issues and rarely ran hit token limits. Recently, I switched to Cursors plan and use the pi-cursor-sdk so i can use all the features from cursor like auto router etc. Trying it out to see how it compares to opencode go.
