  "account": "We are excited to announce the release of Pi 1.0, a hardened, minimal, and extensible agent harness that you can customize to suit your needs. Pi has been used by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide, and we have incorporated their feedback into this release to make it even more stable and dependable for both individuals and businesses.\n\nOne of the core principles of Pi is its minimalism, and we are committed to maintaining this in Pi 1.0. We only adopt features after they have proven themselves, ensuring that any additions have true functionality and don't come with unnecessary complexity. Pi has already been running the latest models from major providers and has become a daily driver coding agent for users around the world.\n\nWith Pi 1.0, we are introducing several new features and improvements. These new additions have been thoroughly tested and integrated, and while they make Pi more powerful, they still maintain the simplicity that Pi is known for. Pi Durable is another new experimental package we are releasing today. This package allows for the building of long-running agentic applications, extending Pi's minimalism into new dimensions while preserving its core principles.\n\nBoth Pi 1.0 and Pi Durable are available as experimental packages under the MIT license. You can find more information in the documentation at pi.dev and on GitHub at github.com/earendil-works/pi. We are eager to receive your feedback and to continue working together to strengthen human agency through software and open protocols.",
