Pi extension: Skip reasoning with local Qwen 27B and proceed to answer right now
Summary
pi-llama-skip-reasoning is a Pi.dev extension that lets users force a local Qwen 27B llama.cpp model to stop reasoning and answer immediately via a /skip-reasoning command or Alt+T shortcut, using llama.cpp's native reasoning-skip mechanism.

Qwen3.8-27B-pi is a Qwen3.8-27B fine-tune built for the Pi coding agent harness, trained with SFT on successful agent sessions followed by GRPO with a success-conditioned reward that enforces effort-ordered reasoning. It matches base xhigh performance on Terminal-Bench 2.1 at medium effort while using ~41% fewer output tokens, and is released in BF16, FP8 and 17 GGUF formats.
