What the numbers mean

About this model

π0.6 (pi-0.6) was published by Physical Intelligence, in United States of America, in November 2025. The organisation is categorised as industry.

It works in Robotics, Vision, and is recorded as doing robotic manipulation.

It is derived from Gemma 3 4B rather than trained from scratch, which is the usual way a specialised model is produced.

Its weights were never published, so it can only be reached through its provider. No graphics card changes that.

What went into building it

The reason it appears in this catalogue at all is discretionary.

Answers

π0.6 (pi-0.6) — common questions

01

How many parameters does π0.6 (pi-0.6) have?

π0.6 (pi-0.6) has 5.3B parameters. "(ii) The base VLM is Gemma 3 [78] 4B model. (iii) The size of the action expert is increased to 860M parameters." Model card (https://website.pi-asset.com/pi06star/PI06_model_card.pdf) notes in Figure 1 that the VLM also includes SigLIP (400M). That figure is the total, and it is what decides how much memory the model needs — roughly half a gigabyte per billion at the compression most people use.

02

Who created π0.6 (pi-0.6)?

π0.6 (pi-0.6) was published by Physical Intelligence, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.

03

When was π0.6 (pi-0.6) released?

π0.6 (pi-0.6) was published in November 2025.

04

What is π0.6 (pi-0.6) used for?

π0.6 (pi-0.6) works in Robotics, Vision, and is recorded as handling robotic manipulation. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

05

What GPU do I need to run π0.6 (pi-0.6)?

None. π0.6 (pi-0.6) is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.

06

Is π0.6 (pi-0.6) open source?

No. π0.6 (pi-0.6) has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.
