pi-tps
A pi coding agent extension that displays live tokens-per-second (TPS) in the footer during AI response generation.
Features
- Real-time streaming TPS — updates continuously as tokens are generated
- Animated spinner — rotating
⠋⠙⠹⠸⠼⠴⠦⠧⠇⠏frames during generation - Color-coded performance — green (≥100 t/s), yellow (30–100 t/s), red (<30 t/s)
- Compact display — token counts in K notation (e.g.
1.2k), shortened tot/s - Completion summary — checkmark with final stats:
tps · tokens in X.Xs

Streaming:
⠇ 127.3 t/s ↓ 1.2k tokens
Completed:
✓ 127.3 t/s · 1.2k tokens in 9.4s
Installation
Via pi install (recommended)
pi install npm:pi-tps-was-taken
This installs the package and registers it in pi's settings automatically. Then reload pi with /reload.
How It Works
The extension subscribes to four pi events:
| Event | Purpose |
|---|---|
agent_start |
Clears state on new prompt |
message_start |
Records start time, begins spinner animation |
message_update |
Calculates and displays live TPS from incremental usage.output |
message_end |
Shows final average TPS, stops spinner |
Uses ctx.ui.setStatus("tps", ...) to append TPS to the existing footer (pwd, context %, model) instead of replacing it.
Requirements
- pi coding agent with TUI support
- Local llama.cpp model (streaming usage updates must be incremental, not deferred to stream end)
