Pi Network (PI) is back in the spotlight after its token surged 38% this week, climbing from $0.47 to a peak of $0.65, before pulling back to around $0.57.
๐ง Why the spike?
Speculation is growing that Pi Network may be partnering with Google AI or launching its own AI initiative. This comes ahead of Pi2Day, a community event scheduled for Saturday where big announcements are expected.

Pi co-founder Nicolas Kokkalis appeared on an AI panel at Consensus 2025.
The official Pi X account hinted at upcoming AI-focused news with a mysterious teaser.
Some users pointed out the use of a star symbol in Piโs graphics that looked similar to Googleโs AI branding.
Others mentioned a project named PiAI could be involved.
๐ Despite the hype, some community members urged caution:
