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

General Intuition, the New York-based startup building a foundation model that trains AI agents how to move through space and time, is in talks to raise around $300 million. The financing would value the company at just over $2 billion and comes eight months after General Intuition spun out of Medal with a $134 million seed round.

Pim de Witte, who co-founded Medal, founded and leads General Intuition alongside co-founders Eloi Alonso, Adam Jelley and Vincent Micheli, researchers with expertise in world modeling and simulation. Investors in the new round include Jeff Bezos and Eric Schmidt, along with existing backers Khosla Ventures and General Catalyst.

The startup trains embodied AI and world models using Medal’s dataset of 2 billion videos per year from 10 million monthly active users. That interactive, first-person gameplay data is the company’s argument for teaching machines deep spatial-temporal reasoning so they can perceive, anticipate and interact in real time in simulation.
