Just tested it via openrounter in the Pi Coding agent and it regularly fails to use the read and write tool correctly, very disappointing. Anyone know a fix besides prompting "always use the provided tools instead of writing your own call"

They have just released it, give it some time, they probably haven't pretested it with Pi

How can they fix it after the release? They would have to retrain/finetune it further, no?

It's only in preview right now. And anyway, yes, models regularly get updated training.

But in this case, it's more likely just to be a tooling issue.

my experience with pi is that it’s terrible at doing anything

If you have access to any other model it can create create pi extension that fixes problem. At least worked for me.

Like a special parser? Would you mind elaborating?

It intercepts json commands and turns them in tool calls
