Introducing OptimAI Router 🌐
Open models have never been better. Using them is another story: running one yourself means hardware and upkeep, and renting one means someone else's prices and rules. Meanwhile, millions of capable computers sit idle every night.
Router connects those two sides.
🛠 For builders
• One OpenAI-style chat completions API, with streaming
• You choose the model, and Router never swaps it
• Try requests in the Playground before you write code
• API keys with monthly caps, per-key limits and a max charge per request
• Pay with OptimAI Credits and top up with x402
💻 For providers
Set up in OptimAI Core Node in four steps: Computer → Model → Pricing → Serving.
Earn credits for every completed request and collect Points while you serve. You set your price, and you start and stop serving whenever you like.
Coming soon: MCP and x402 pay-as-you-go for individual requests.
One network, two ways in.

Keep building.
Open models. Real machines. One connected network.
A first look at model hosting in Core Node: the infrastructure we're building behind OptimAI Router.
OptimAI is building an interconnected agentic stack spanning model access, data, execution, and decentralized infrastructure.
Router, DePIN, and DeHIN represent complementary parts of that direction.
The objective is to make distributed intelligence useful - not merely available.
The best Creative Agent might be one we haven’t built yet. It might be yours.

The letters are going out 💌
Router early access is rolling out to OptimAI Island finishers. We're going through the queue in batches, so not everyone gets theirs on the same day.
How do you know you're approved? Log in to the Node Dashboard (https://t.co/4GjXV30kSA) and open the notification bell (in the sidebar, or at the top on mobile). Approved players get a notification: "You're in: Router early access". No notification yet means your run is still in the queue.
Got approved? Open the Router tab in OptimAI Core Node. Instead of the island invite you'll see Router setup: it checks your computer, helps you pick a model, then you set your price and start serving.
This first batch went to players who are active in our community and to the fastest runs.
Not approved yet? Don't worry. More players will be approved in the coming days. While you wait:
• Keep your X, Discord and Telegram linked in Missions & Rewards. We can't approve a run while they're unlinked
• Make sure you're on the latest Core Node version, then open the Router tab again
Haven't finished the island yet? It's still open. Find all six boxes to join the queue.
Welcome to Router 🚀

Another milestone: OptimAI joins Claude Startups.🔥
With hundreds of thousands of applicants, being selected is a milestone we're proud of. But what matters most is what we build next.
Access to Claude, API credits, and Anthropic's startup ecosystem will help us push further across agentic search, Creative Agents, and autonomous workflows.
We're building infrastructure for the agent-native internet, and we're just getting started.
More capable agents. More powerful products. More to ship. ⚡️
Thank you @claudeai. Keep building.
I opened all 6 mystery boxes on OptimAI Island in 7:06.0 🏝️
Pulled a rare Firefly jar ✨
Every box hides an OptimAI quiz question. Think you can beat my time? 👇

Your idea is bigger than its first form.
One concept can become a visual identity, a cinematic ad, a website, or an interactive world.
https://t.co/cwqgvhN3e7 Creative Agents help you explore the possibilities, shape the details, and turn creative direction into finished work.
One idea. More ways to make it real.
Explore OptimAI Studio🔥
The gate is open 🏝️
Last time, two Cogflies landed on OptimAI Island and could only look around. Today the race starts.
Six mystery boxes are hidden on the island. Each one is locked behind a question about OptimAI:
• Your first try pays the full points, plus up to +20% if you answer within 10 seconds
• A miss lowers what the box pays (50%, then 25%, then just the sticker)
• A missed box rests for 1 minute, then 2, then 5. The other boxes stay open
• Find all six to get the finish bonus and join the queue for Router early access
Boxes pay out while points last, and your run time goes on the speedrun board, so read carefully but don't hang around 😄
How to join:
1. Update OptimAI Core Node to the latest version
2. Open the Router tab
3. If it asks, link your X, Discord and Telegram in Missions & Rewards
4. Click the invite card to get your personal code and island link
5. Open the link in your browser and go
Already have your invite? Just open your link again.
Done? Every run gets its own result card with your time, rank and stickers. Share it on X and show everyone how you did 👀
Good luck! @OptimaiNetwork #OptimAIRouterIsland
✅️This is where I believe Pi’s future lies.
I did not suddenly start talking about burning Pi. 🔥
I have been thinking about this for years, and for years I have been saying that this could eventually become an important part of the answer.
Years ago, when almost nobody was talking about smart contracts, DEXs, or stablecoins for Pi, I was already saying that Pi would eventually need them.
And now I believe the final piece should be burning.
Let me explain it again in a very simple way, because even many pioneers still do not seem to understand this vision.
Look at Ethereum.
Thousands of ERC-20 tokens have been created on Ethereum. There are meme tokens, utility tokens, NFTs, games, DeFi projects, and many other ecosystems.
But when people use those applications on the Ethereum network, the network fee is basically paid in ETH.
You may be playing a game and trading Token A.
You may be buying or selling a monkey NFT.
But behind the scenes, ETH is still being used to pay for network activity.
And part of those ETH transaction fees can be burned.
Think about what this means.
Even when people are using other tokens and applications, the activity can still create burn pressure on ETH.
Ethereum does not have a fixed maximum supply like Bitcoin, but its burn mechanism helps reduce net supply growth and, during periods of heavy network activity, ETH can even become deflationary.
This creates an important idea in the minds of investors:
“If Ethereum tokens or nft usage grows, more ETH may be burned. If supply becomes scarcer while demand remains strong, holding ETH becomes more attractive.”
That is powerful.
Smart contracts, NFTs, ERC-20 tokens, DeFi, and games are tools that grow Ethereum’s utility.
Other major blockchains use different burn systems and different details, but many of them also have mechanisms designed to control supply, burn tokens, or reduce inflation.
Now let’s look at Pi.
Pi is moving toward a future where smart contracts and tokens can exist on the Pi blockchain.
If tokens, games, NFTs, DEXs, and other applications operate directly on Pi Network, Pi can become the native asset used for network fees.
Imagine playing a game on Pi.
You trade the game’s own token, but Pi is used in the background for network fees.
You trade an NFT, and Pi is used for the transaction fee.
Even when trading on a DEX, Pi is used to pay the network fee.
Now imagine that a portion of all those accumulated Pi network fees is burned.
Then almost every type of activity happening on the Pi blockchain could indirectly contribute to reducing Pi’s supply.
The more tokens, applications, games, NFTs, and transactions that exist on Pi, the more Pi could potentially be consumed and burned.
And that changes the way people look at Pi.
Pioneers and investors could start thinking:
“Pi Network usage is growing. More activity means more fees. More fees mean more Pi can be burned. If Pi becomes scarcer over time, maybe holding Pi becomes more valuable.”
That creates another reason to hold and buy Pi.
This is the vision I have been talking about for years.
First, smart contracts.
Then tokens.
Then stablecoins.
Then DEXs and a larger ecosystem.
And in my view, the final piece that connects all of this together should be a sustainable Pi burn mechanism.
Utility creates activity.
Activity creates network fees.
And if part of those fees is burned, growing utility can also help create scarcity.
That is the model I believe Pi should build toward.

Imagine it. Build it. Publish it. Let the world play.
AI has two sides: the applications that need intelligence, and the computers that provide it.
OptimAI Router brings them closer together.
For developers: access a growing range of open AI models through one connection.
For node operators: turn your computer into a potential source of AI inference, contributing computing resources to real workloads across the network.
One side brings the demand. The other brings the capacity.
OptimAI connects them.
We're building toward an AI network where developers can access diverse models, more computing resources can participate, and intelligence isn't tied to a single provider.
Build with open models.
Contribute computing power.
Help grow the network.
One network. From AI requests to distributed compute.
OptimAI Router. Coming soon. ⚡
