General Intuition in talks to raise $300M at around $2B valuation

General Intuition, a startup developing a foundation model for embodied AI and world models, is in talks to raise $300 million at a valuation of approximately $2 billion, according to sources. The company's model is trained using gameplay data, aiming to teach AI systems physical-world understanding and reasoning through simulated environments.

The funding round would value the company at roughly $2 billion, making it one of the more significant investments in the embodied AI space. The startup has not publicly disclosed details of its technology or existing products. The use of video game data for training is notable, as it allows for large-scale, diverse interactions without the constraints of physical world deployment.

The potential investment reflects growing investor interest in startups that combine foundation models with robotics and real-world interaction. Embodied AI — systems that perceive and act in the physical world — has attracted substantial venture capital in recent years, though few companies have commercialised products. General Intuition has not commented on the reported talks.
