What is and isn’t public

An evidence-based summary of what this catalog has documented. It is not a verdict on the organization as a whole.

Physical Intelligence publishes code under Apache 2.0 and downloadable checkpoints for π0, π0-FAST, and π0.5 in the openpi repository. The π0 paper describes the internal robot data used for pre-training; this catalog found no public release of that data. This record does not assess whether the company's other models are public.1 2
