Does anyone else feel that running AI models and agents locally, on your own computer, should be much easier?
The privacy benefits are clear: your data stays with you. But while there are many open-source models and projects out there, turning them into a usable local AI agent is still far too hard for non-engineers.
What will Pi2Day 2026 Bring For Pioneers?
@PiCoreTeam approaches its annual June 28 "Pi2Day" event as millions of Pioneers anticipate the next phase of ecosystem expansion.
This follows a high-impact 2025 cycle that saw the launch of:
- Pi App Studio
- Directory Staking
- The protocol's first formal framework for addressing AI-era identity challenges.
The primary question for the current roadmap remains which core infrastructure layer will be unlocked next to facilitate sovereign retail entry into the on-chain economy.
In the meantime, Pioneers have three days left to participate in the Vibe Coder Campaign, which includes a raffle and the Pi Launchpad Testnet SLICE token.
Pi2Day (June 28) has historically been a time for ecosystem milestones, updates, and feature releases.
Last year Pi released:
- Pi App Studio
- Pi’s vision and solution to address AI-era challenges
- Ecosystem Directory Staking
- Node updates and Node ranking page
- And more!
Stay tuned on June 28 for what’s to come!
BSCN is the Top Staked App on Pi App Studio
Just hours after unveiling the 'BSCN Pioneer Brief' within the $PI @PiCoreTeam's Pi Browser, we have hit a new milestone.
BSCN is now the leading application with the most boost from Pioneers and Businesses on the Pi App Studio.
As of writing, over 740K PI has been staked, boosting our ranking and service in the Pi Ecosystem.
We are also featured on the Pi Browser Homepage as the "Top Staked App Studio" Application.
Thanks to all Pioneers for this remarkable feat!
Calling all true Pioneers!

@amr_nannaware@nkokkalis@Chengdiao Haha😂... Unless I show them the Tentative issue I went through. The Pi Core Team took nearly four years to resolve it, and I even submitted proof that I had used Pi to purchase an item.
@amr_nannaware@nkokkalis@Chengdiao People have already given up on Pi. Out of all my referrals, not a single one has mined for nearly two weeks. I even ran into one of them and asked why he stopped mining. His response? "Pi is just a scam." That's how much trust has been lost.😂
