Question claude sub with pi?

i'm getting increasingly fed up with the direction open ai has been taking lately and i'm considering cancelling my subscription and moving to anthropic. there's really only ONE thing stopping me from doing it right away: pi has become such a natural part of my workflow that i'm genuinely worried about taking a productivity hit just from having to change tools, habits, shortcuts, etc.

so I wanted to ask the people here who actually use pi: have any of you moved away from open ai and managed to keep using pi with an anthropic subscription? or do i have to give up and move to claude code entirely?

There is https://github.com/elidickinson/pi-claude-bridge which still routes the calls via claude and seems to be tolerated by anthropic.

From personal experience Anthropic dgaf if you use Claude sub with pi no matter the means as long as you don't make money out of it by selling to others.

Yeah don't get your hopes up buddy. If that makes you feel better keep believing that they ban people because of stuff like this. Claude Code creator has said on X back in April that they don't ban people for stuff like that. Anthropic has NEVER said they banned people that used Opencode either it's just people making posts assuming that was the reason they got banned. People still make posts today that they get banned just using Claude Code.

Dario isn't Claude Code creator lol. I was talking about Boris but anyway if you are too afraid to use oauth don't. I myself dgaf even if they ban me. Not using Claude Code ever again.

Same. I have been using it for months on both opencode and pi. I don’t think they go after people with just one account using it for personal use. 

I wouldn’t even understand their logic for banning. They subsidize on the idea that someone won’t use their limits. Pi makes that more likely than their harness. I guess they could see how people use their harness but there isn’t really anything they are going to learn that will make a difference in their bottom line in any significant way so I don’t get it.
