I'm enjoying the maximal version: https://omp.sh

OMP is great. I pair it with https://nono.sh/ and sleep alot easier at night.

OMP is great to get started with, there's a whole bunch of stuff in there but it's mostly optional and turned off by default (like the memory backend). You can always try it and create a custom Pi config with only the stuff that you find useful if it's too much.

I'm really enjoying the advisor mode (you can have a second model monitor the output of the primary model and have it "steer" the primary when it makes a mistake or goes off the rails) and the automatic fallback to a second provider if the primary one has issues (Deepseek had some issues yesterday).

I need to dive a bit into the system prompt to see how much context OMP actually adds. I think the system prompt is still 2-3k tokens but that probably depends on bells and whistles.

I find omp funny because it's the opposite of why Iike Pi.

It’s more like a curated config. Like using Astro or Lunar instead of starting with a plain Neovim and crafting your own configuration.

It goes further than that. I mean, it has a bash interpreter natively linked into it.

it depends on how you see things. By default OMP with all its options turned off is very much like Pi, just with a better UX/UI - and - a faster start, somehow. And you can turn things on when needed. I see people like Pi because it's super skinny and they can tweak it with extensions A, B or C. I like OMP because I don't have to spend time figuring out the next best thing while there is a guy out there who knows (more than me) what he is doing and packaging all the good stuff into his app. Yes it's opinionated, but I use regularly half of the installed extensions - and occasionally play with other features too.

But I can agree on a thing: the best for OMP would be to have a clear "list of extensions" that can be activated or deactivated (to unclutter the menus)
