Eärendil's Pi 1.0 introduces deferred tool loading and Codemode

Eärendil has released Pi 1.0, introducing deferred tool loading and a "Codemode" feature that allows models to compose tool calls within a JavaScript sandbox. This update enables finer control over tool visibility, allowing developers to choose whether tools are loaded directly, on demand, or exclusively within Codemode. The change aims to reduce the number of prompt tokens used for tool schemas, which can consume significant context window space and increase costs and model attention overhead. AI

IMPACT Enables more efficient use of context windows by allowing granular control over tool schema visibility, potentially reducing costs and improving model performance.
