Lightning Labs launches pi402, enabling AI agents to buy inference with Bitcoin

Lightning Labs, a key developer of Bitcoin ‘s Lightning Network infrastructure, has introduced a new tool called pi402 that allows autonomous AI agents to directly pay for AI inference using Bitcoin via the Lightning Network. This development offers a solution for software agents that require ongoing access to computing resources to process their tasks. Pi402 connects the Pi coding-agent environment with AI inference services, allowing agents to purchase access without needing to create individual buyer accounts or submit payment cards to every provider. The feature is powered by an embedded Wavelength wallet, which supports per-request spending limits and daily budgets to ensure spending control. Importantly, human operators still fund the wallet and determine its operating boundaries.
