Pi Network’s token jumped 38% this week amid growing anticipation of an upcoming AI-related announcement and rumors of a potential partnership with Google.
The excitement was sparked after Pi Network co-founder Nicolas Kokkalis participated in a generative AI panel at Consensus 2025, prompting speculation about the project’s next move. Adding to the intrigue, Pi Network posted on X Sunday that more details would be revealed during its Pi2Day event on Thursday.
Kokkalis’s appearance and the company’s social media post have fueled speculation that Pi Network may be planning to integrate artificial intelligence into its ecosystem.
Following the announcement, the Pi token surged to a high of $0.65 on Wednesday—up 38% from its Sunday low of $0.47—before slipping back to $0.57 at the time of writing.
Speculation about a potential collaboration with Google is gaining traction on social media
Following the surge in PI token’s price, speculation has been swirling across social media about the nature of Pi Network’s upcoming AI announcement.
One user on X claimed that Pi Network may be working with Google AI, pointing to a star symbol in a recent teaser that resembles the logo of Google’s AI division. Another community member suggested the announcement might involve a separate initiative known as PiAI.
While some users expressed optimism about a major reveal, others struck a more cautious tone. One post advised fellow community members to “lower their expectations” ahead of Saturday’s event to avoid potential disappointment.
At the same time, skepticism persists. One user questioned Pi Network’s innovation, arguing that its offerings aren’t particularly groundbreaking compared to existing blockchain projects. They encouraged the community to think critically and seek more clarity about Pi’s direction.
Pi Network’s $100 Million Fund to Support Startup Innovation
The recent surge comes on the heels of another major announcement from Pi Network last month. On May 15, the company unveiled a $100 million fund aimed at investing in businesses and startups that contribute to expanding the utility of its blockchain ecosystem.
According to the team, most investments will be made in U.S. dollars, though the project also plans to use its native token to support qualifying initiatives.
