The price of Pi Network’s token (PI) surged by 38% this week, fueled by growing speculation about a potential AI partnership with Google and excitement over the upcoming Pi2Day event set for Saturday.
📈 What’s Behind the Surge?
The rally kicked off after Pi Network co-founder Nicolas Kokkalis appeared on an AI panel at the prestigious Consensus 2025 conference. Shortly after, the Pi Core Team teased a major announcement on social media, hinting that AI integration could be coming to the platform.
In a post on X (Twitter), the team promised more details would be revealed during Pi2Day — sparking rumors and renewed optimism among the community.
🤖 Google AI Collaboration?
Social media quickly lit up with speculation that Pi Network may be partnering with Google AI. One user noted that a star featured in Pi’s teaser looked similar to the Google DeepMind logo, while others suggested a new project called “PiAI” might be in the works.
Despite the excitement, some community members urged caution. “Keep your expectations low to avoid disappointment,” one user warned, reflecting the mixed sentiment.
