Ollama has unveiled a new command, 'ollama launch pi', enabling users to initiate Pi, a minimalist AI programming agent toolkit. Developed by Mario Zechner, Pi features an integrated plugin extension system, allowing it to autonomously write extensions. The toolkit is globally installed via npm, with configuration files located in the ~/.pi/agent/ directory, and supports integration with local Ollama models and various cloud services. Jeffrey Morgan, founder of Ollama, highlighted Pi's elegant design and high customization capabilities, noting its strong performance with small parameter models like the Qwen 3.5 series. The 'ollama launch' command, which debuted on January 23, facilitates zero-configuration startup for tools such as Claude Code and Codex, with Pi's addition broadening the Agent ecosystem.
