# Use Pi with open models

Updated 2026-11-11

Open models get their own `pi-run` command. Your `pi` command and settings stay unchanged.

## Set up

**Text**

```text
Set up the open-models service in this coding agent for me. Read https://runinfra.ai/docs/tools-sdks/agent-setup.md and follow it step by step. If you cannot open links, run `npx -y @runinfra/cli@latest --help` and follow its FOR CODING AGENTS section. I approve sign-in in my browser. Before you install anything, change this agent's settings or spend money, show me the plan and wait for my yes.
```

Paste it into your agent, approve sign-in in your browser, and say yes to the plan. [All steps](https://www.rightnowai.co/docs/open-models/guides/coding-agents)

## Start

Start `pi-run`, then pick an open-models service model with `/model`.

If needed, add `~/.config/runinfra/bin` to PATH (`%LOCALAPPDATA%\runinfra\bin` on Windows) to run commands by name.

## Undo

Ask your agent, in your usual `pi`, to disconnect the open-models service. This deletes `pi-run` with its sessions and history.
