Published: · Updated:
Physical Intelligence announced the Pi API beta on October 13. The company said developers can upload robot data, start fine-tuning on infrastructure it manages, and run inference through a hosted gateway using adapted models.
The company describes the API as a workflow for adapting robotic foundation models such as π 0 and π 0.5 to different tasks and hardware. Its announcement recounts early-access trials across examples including manufacturing, agriculture, food preparation and heavy machinery, and notes that some deployments encountered cloud connectivity challenges. Developers are invited to request beta participation; the announcement does not say the API is generally available.
