I like how quick and snappy Pi is, it feels like a minimal harness, just enough to manage the agent and get out of the way. Earlier models also seemed to have an easier time working with the tools, e.g. GPT-OSS-20B is about a year old and had no trouble in Pi.

This is the big point for me. If one buys a digital PlayStation game there's virtually no easy way to transfer it to another owner or sell it like one could do in past console generations. There will always be modding and ways to play game dumps, but it limits that level of "ownership" to those technically inclined to make it work.

For me I enjoy it as a fun/hobby OS. I can install all my favorite tools and games and boot it up whenever. It's also fun to see what modern work can still be done on old OSs. Recent versions of PuTTY work so I can in theory sit on my XP box and drive LLM agents with Winamp playing in the background, chat on MSN with Escargot, etc.

- Off-white or sepia toned backgrounds, similar subdued color palette for icons, grey ALL CAPS subheadings

- Serifed headings

- Various "Item: Quantity" lists (Puzzle types: 10, Puzzles solved: 1,951, etc.)

- Middle dot character for separator

One common tell it is lacking is the placement of colored dots or circles in the corners of panels or other UI elements, sometimes animated/pulsing.

To be clear it's not bad, it's a clean and friendly style. It just has that certain look, like a visual "it's not X it's Y".

> The game does not actually model three-dimensional volumes of voxels. Instead, it models the ground as a surface, which may be seen as being made up of voxels. The ground is decorated with objects that are modeled using texture-mapped polygons. When Outcast was developed, the term "voxel engine", when applied to video games, commonly referred to a ray casting engine (for example the Voxel Space engine). On the engine technology page of the game's website, the landscape engine is also referred to as the "Voxels engine". The engine is purely software based; it does not rely on hardware-acceleration via a 3D graphics card.

My system has a 4080 Super (16GB) installed and using llama.cpp (b9333-35c9b1f39) I got these results on a test prompt:

* Qwen3.5-9B-Q6_K.gguf - Prompt: 1492.0 t/s | Generation: 81.0 t/s

* gemma-4-12b-it-Q4_K_M.gguf - Prompt: 1329.2 t/s | Generation: 72.3 t/s

* gemma-4-12b-it-Q8_0.gguf - Prompt: 504.4 t/s | Generation: 25.2 t/s

This has me excited for missions to Europa and Enceladus. Vast quantities of tidal energy flexing unseen ocean floors for millennia is bound to produce some interesting chemistry, if not life.
