Spawn the pi coding agent with a specific model/provider. Use when asked to run pi with a particular model, switch pi's model, use DeepSeek V4 Flash/Pro in pi, or look up pi's --model/--provider/--models CLI flags and thinking-level shorthand.

- Spawn the pi coding agent with a specific model/provider. Use when asked to run pi with a particular model, switch pi's model, use DeepSeek V4 Flash/Pro in pi, or look up pi's --model/--provider/--models CLI flags and thinking-level shorthand.
Spawning pi with a specific model
pi (the pi-mono coding agent) selects its model from CLI flags. Args without a
flag are treated as the initial prompt, so the model must be passed explicitly.
CLI flags
| Flag | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| --provider <name> | Provider id (default: google) |
| --model <pattern> | Model id/pattern. Supports provider/id and :<thinking> suffix |
| --models <patterns> | Comma-separated patterns for Ctrl+P in-session cycling (globs + fuzzy: anthropic/*, *sonnet*) |
| --thinking <level> | off, minimal, low, medium, high, xhigh |
| --list-models [search] | List available models (fuzzy filter optional) |
Each value flag needs an argument — pi --model alone errors as "Unknown option".
Equivalent ways to pick a model
pi --provider openai --model gpt-4o-mini "refactor this" # provider + bare id
pi --model openai/gpt-4o "refactor this" # provider/id prefix
pi --model sonnet:high "solve this" # model + thinking shorthand
DeepSeek V4 Flash & Pro
Via DeepSeek's native API (DEEPSEEK_API_KEY, api.deepseek.com):
pi --provider deepseek --model deepseek-v4-flash "your prompt"
pi --provider deepseek --model deepseek-v4-pro "your prompt"
Cycle between Flash and Pro in-session (Ctrl+P)
pi --provider deepseek --models deepseek-v4-flash,deepseek-v4-pro
Notes
- Verify availability and exact ids with
pi --list-models deepseek(needs the relevant API key in the environment). - Combine with
-p/--printfor non-interactive runs, e.g.pi --provider deepseek --model deepseek-v4-pro -p "summarize README".
