General Intuition announced a $320 million Series B round that values the company at $2.3 billion, bringing its disclosed capital to $454 million. The funding, led by Khosla Ventures with participation from General Catalyst, Jeff Bezos, Eric Schmidt, Nico Rosberg, and researchers from Google DeepMind and MIT, will mainly expand compute capacity and prepare an API release slated for the summer.
The firm builds on data harvested from Medal, a platform where gamers share video‑game clips complete with button‑press timestamps. By training a single model on this action‑rich footage, General Intuition claims its AI can navigate virtual worlds like Fortnite and then transfer to physical embodiments such as a quadrupedal robot that learned to move after only eight minutes of real‑world data. Demonstrations showed the robot exploring an office, bumping into objects much like a toddler learning body awareness.
Beyond the hardware demo, the company plans to commercialize the underlying model rather than produce end‑user products, offering an API for developers in gaming, simulation, and robotics. It also launched a marketplace called Nerve, letting gamers label data and eventually operate robots, reflecting the founder’s aim to give the community a stake in the AI future.
