General Intuition<\/a>, which is developing a foundation artificial intelligence model with potential applications in robotics, is finalizing a funding round that would value the company at $6 billion, TechCrunch reported<\/a> Monday (Aug. 24), citing unnamed sources.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s AI model was developed using hundreds of millions of hours of gameplay from General Intuition CEO Pim de Witte<\/a>\u2019s video game clip-sharing platform, Medal<\/a>, and trains generalized AI agents to move through time and space, according to the report.<\/p>\n

General Intuition plans to use the new capital to invest in additional compute infrastructure and talent to improve its general model, with a focus on robotic embodiments, per the report.<\/p>\n

General Intuition announced an earlier funding round two months ago, saying in a June 25 post on X that it raised $320 million in a Series A<\/a> round at a $2.3 billion valuation. The company said the round was led by Khosla Ventures<\/a>, former Google Executive Chairman and CEO Eric Schmidt<\/a> and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

General Intuition announced in an Oct. 25, 2025, post on X that it raised $133.7 million in a seed round<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the June 25 post, the company said: \u201cGeneral Intuition is the frontier lab for acting in space and time. We build large action foundation models trained on billions of ground truth action-labeled gameplay clips from [17 million] monthly active users on Medal, and push the frontier of world models to generate infinite training environments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several announcements around world models have been made in recent months.<\/p>\n

It was reported June 17 that Amazon<\/a> invested in and launched a partnership with Odyssey<\/a>, a startup that builds AI systems designed to simulate the physical world<\/a>. Odyssey\u2019s world models can create 3D environments. The round raised $310 milion and valued Odyssey at $1.45 billion.<\/p>\n

Chinese tech giant Alibaba<\/a> announced June 15 that it unveiled its first suite of AI models for robots. The suite includes Qwen-RobotNav, which helps robots understand how to navigate physical spaces; Qwen-RobotWorld, a video \u201cworld model<\/a>\u201d that allows a robot to predict how a physical scenario will unfold; and Qwen-RobotManip, which enables cross-embodiment training at scale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"General Intuition, which is developing a foundation artificial intelligence model with potential applications in robotics, is finalizing a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":654491,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[74],"tags":[289,18,1510,19,17,5,1351,1222,82,2350],"class_list":["post-654490","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-eire","tag-funding","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news","tag-pymnts-news","tag-robotics","tag-technology","tag-whats-hot"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/117152605835480919","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/654490","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=654490"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/654490\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/654491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=654490"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=654490"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=654490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
