General Intuition Raises 6B Valuation for Physical AI Robot Foundation Model

New York-based General Intuition, the startup building a foundation model that trains generalized AI agents to move through space and time, is in talks to raise funding at a 6 billion dollar pre-money valuation.

Investors

  • Valor Equity Partners (known for backing SpaceX)
  • Point72 Ventures
  • Seven Seven Six
  • Khosla Ventures
  • General Catalyst

Background

CEO Pim de Witte spun out General Intuition last October from his video game clip-sharing platform Medal, using its hundreds of millions of hours of gameplay and action labels as an initial dataset.

Investor Vinod Khosla believes those action labels will be a key part of the emergence of intuition, or the ability for a model to truly generalize across tasks it was not explicitly trained on.

What the Funds Will Be Used For

  • Improve general model with focus on robotic embodiments
  • More compute infrastructure (partnership with neolab CoreWeave)
  • Hire more talent
