Physical Intelligence announced its Pi API beta on October 13, 2026, describing company-managed fine-tuning compute and hosted inference. Its account of early access names Almond, whose robot ran a model after four days of API iteration, and reports cloud-hosted use across initial applications. This supports a delivered model-service operating capability, distinct from the existing generic investor and partner description.
