General Intuition, the startup building a foundation model that trains generalized AI agents how to move through space and time, is in talks to raise at a $6 billion pre-money valuation from new investors including Valor Ventures, Point72 Ventures, and Seven Seven Six.
General Intuition is betting millions of hours of video game data can train the foundation models for physical AI, making it easier to build smarter robots with minimal real-world data.
When it comes to achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), large language models just don’t have what it takes. Models like ChatGPT and Claude are great at text, but they’re less skilled at understanding how things actually move through space and time — an essential skill for producing intelligence that generalizes. That gap, it turns out, might be filled by gaming data. That’s the bet behind General Intuition, a […]
General Intuition has raised $320 million to scale AI trained on millions of hours of gameplay, betting action data can help AI develop something closer to human intuition.

The startup trains embodied AI and world models using Medal’s dataset of 2 billion videos per year from 10 million monthly active users.
Late last year, OpenAI reportedly tried to buy Medal and its vast trove of video game data for $500M. Today, the company spun out a frontier research lab that’s using that data to build AI agents that understand how they move through space and time, a concept called spatial-temporal reasoning.
