PI
Pi is an embodied-intelligence robotics company founded in March 2024 that has moved at unusual speed: it closed a $70 million seed round led by OpenAI and Sequoia in its first month, then raised $400 million eight months later at a $5.6 billion valuation . Its core product is a general-purpose robot policy model, beginning with Pi0 in October 2024 and quickly iterating to Pi0.5, which it open-sourced—garnering 5,000 GitHub stars in a week and nearly 10,000 total since . The company appears to be betting that raw open-source release is no longer a differentiator in robotics; what matters now is whether others can actually pull the model down, run it, modify it, and build on it as an engineering base . Related coverage: Pi has been discussed alongside the broader shift toward agent-native hardware and AI's transformation of search and work tools .
