What’s New

pi v0.80.6

v0.80.6
Added
  • Add opt-in `max` thinking level above `xhigh`, natively supported on GPT-5.6 and adaptive Claude models, available across CLI, SDK, RPC, and model selection
  • Add request-wide input-token pricing tiers for accurate long-context cost accounting, configurable for custom models in `models.json` and `modelOverrides`
  • Add `~` (home directory) expansion for the `shellPath` setting
Fixed
  • Fix inherited post-compaction output-token budgeting to ignore stale assistant usage from before the compaction boundary
  • Fix inherited GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.5 long-context cost accounting while retaining the intentional 272K default context limit for models that require an explicit override
  • Fix inherited GPT-5.6 metadata to keep direct OpenAI requests in the 272K short-context tier while exposing the Codex backend's 372K context window with long-context pricing, and remove the nonexistent bare `gpt-5.6` alias
  • Fix inherited Anthropic message conversion to preserve thinking blocks with empty thinking text but a valid signature instead of dropping them
New Features
  • max thinking level - New opt-in thinking level above xhigh, natively supported on GPT-5.6 and adaptive Claude models, available across CLI (--thinking max), SDK, RPC, and model selection. Custom themes can define thinkingMax. See CLI Reference.
  • Input-based pricing tiers - Request-wide input-token pricing tiers for accurate long-context cost accounting (e.g. GPT-5.4/5.5/5.6 long-context rates), also configurable for custom models in models.json and modelOverrides. See Model Configuration.
Added
  • Added the opt-in max thinking level across CLI, SDK, RPC, model selection, and themes. Custom themes can define thinkingMax; existing themes fall back to thinkingXhigh.
  • Added request-wide input-token pricing tiers to custom model costs in models.json, modelOverrides, and extension-registered providers.
  • Added ~ (home directory) expansion for the shellPath setting (#6470 by @aaronkyriesenbach).
Fixed
  • Fixed inherited post-compaction output-token budgeting to ignore stale assistant usage from before the compaction boundary (#6464).
  • Fixed inherited GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.5 long-context cost accounting while retaining the intentional 272K default context limit for models that require an explicit override.
  • Fixed inherited GPT-5.6 metadata to keep direct OpenAI requests in the 272K short-context tier while exposing the Codex backend's 372K context window with long-context pricing, and removed the nonexistent bare gpt-5.6 alias.
  • Fixed inherited Anthropic message conversion to preserve thinking blocks with empty thinking text but a valid signature instead of dropping them, avoiding thinking-block errors on newer Claude models (#6457 by @davidbrai).
