Pi Network Makes Bold Move Into AI Robotics With First-Ever Investment in OpenMind

Pi Network Ventures has entered the world of OpenMind, a robotics enterprise that develops an open-source operating system that allows robots to think, learn, and cooperate. The relocation is when Pi will move to community-based mining to institutional-grade investments. On November 3, 2025, Pi announced the investment using its foundation site.

OpenMind Invention

OpenMind is developing an operating system (OM1) and common protocol (FABRIC) both hardware-agnostic and a shared protocol. Such systems enable robots to identify objects, authenticate information and real time coordination. The platform caters to such industries as logistics, manufacturing, autonomous delivery, and healthcare.

Pi Network had already deployed a proof-of-concept of a 350,000 Pi node operators running image recognition AI models on OpenMind. The node operators received Pi tokens, demonstrating the ability of decentralized computing to drive robotics innovation.

Pi Network Ventures Pours in $100 Million Fund

In mid-2025, Pi Network Ventures was launched to operate a fund of 100M Pi network tokens and USD. The money will be invested in the startups that will enhance the utility of Pi in real-life application. Its first strategic investment is OpenMind, which establishes the tune in which Pi contributes to the connection between blockchain and AI.

The venture arm will make investments in early and mid-stage companies. All new startups will have access to the 19 million verified users of Pi in 200 countries. There is an opportunity to utilize the potential of idle node computing by connecting the robotics intelligence of OpenMind and decentralized infrastructure of Pi network, turning it into productive and income-generating AI energy. This is a strategic shift of Pi – no longer an experiment in digital currency, but a working ecosystem in which applications in the real world determine the value of tokens.

International Market of Robots Prepares the Ground

Robotics and AI market develops at a fast pace. The analysts are projecting the industry to exceed 250 billion by 2030. The collaboration with OpenMind makes Pi Network the intersection of AI-blockchain. This growth trend is in line with how Pi has invested in it and this gives it an early access to a trillion-dollar opportunity. The ruling comes after several months of increasing popularity of decentralized AI initiatives. The appearance of Pi presents an element of a new player supported by one of the largest crypto communities in the world.

Market Implication

The initial investment made by Pi is an indicator that he believes in AI in Web3. OpenMind collaboration can result in decentralized blockchain-verified robotic networks with tokenized rewards. Analysts reckon that this would increase the mainnet usage of Pi. In case OpenMind manages to implement the Pi payments in the system, the node operators will be able to receive a stable source of income, which will boost the economy of the network.
