Introduction – A New Kind of Digital Traffic Ever wonder what your internet is doing when you're not using it? For Pi Network Node operators, the answer might surprise you: it's helping robots learn to think and work together. Pi Network Ventures recently invested in OpenMind, a company building an open-source operating system and protocol for intelligent machines. Together, they ran a proof-of-concept where Pi Nodes—devices operated by volunteers—powered AI models for OpenMind. This experiment shows how unused computing power can be repurposed to support decentralized AI training. Why does this matter? Because it’s a glimpse into how digital infrastructure is evolving. Instead of relying on massive data centers, we may soon tap into global networks of everyday devices to power the future of AI. ADVERTISEMENT How This System Actually Works Think of Pi Nodes like homes on a street. Each one has a driveway (computing power) that’s mostly unused. OpenMind is...
