General Intuition Raises $220M at $6.2B Valuation
AI firm General Intuition has raised an additional $220 million at a $6.2 billion valuation. The round was led by Valor Equity Partners, with participation from Atreides, 776, Point72, Khosla Ventures, and General Catalyst. This follows a January funding round of $320 million at a $2.3 billion valuation. General Intuition develops foundation models for autonomous systems, trained on billions of action-labelled gameplay videos from Medal, a platform with over 17 million monthly active players and on track to upload 3 billion videos per year. Medal and General Intuition operate as sister companies under a shared parent. The company plans to grow its team in New York and Europe and has opened a waitlist for early access partners.
This significant funding round highlights the growing intersection of gaming data and AI training, with implications for robotics and autonomous driving. It underscores the value of synthetic data generated from gameplay for training commercial AI systems, a trend relevant to the broader AdTech ecosystem as AI-driven advertising and autonomous systems evolve.

General Intuition Raises $320M to Train AI with Game Data
General Intuition raised $320 million at a $2.3 billion valuation to advance an agentic foundation model trained on hundreds of millions of hours of gameplay and embedded player action labels from Medal. The startup, spun out of Medal, says its single world-model-style agent can generalize from gameplay to simulation and physical embodiment (robots, drones) and demonstrated a quadruped robot fine-tuned with eight minutes of real-world data. The round was led by Khosla Ventures with participation from General Catalyst, Jeff Bezos, Eric Schmidt, Nico Rosberg and researchers from Google DeepMind and MIT. Proceeds will primarily scale compute (deal with CoreWeave) and expand API access by the end of summer; the company also launched Nerve, a jobs marketplace to monetize gamers and build a data/teleoperation talent pipeline.
General Intuition in talks to raise $300M at $2B valuation
General Intuition, a New York startup building foundation 'world models' that train embodied AI agents using interactive gameplay video, is in talks to raise about $300 million at a valuation just over $2 billion. The company spun out of Medal eight months earlier after a $134 million seed round and is reportedly backed or pursued by high-profile investors, including Jeff Bezos, Eric Schmidt, Khosla Ventures and General Catalyst. General Intuition trains agents on Medal’s large gameplay dataset (reportedly 2 billion videos per year from 10 million monthly active users) and plans to expand compute capacity to support a product launch by late summer or early fall. The fundraising would accelerate scaling amid growing competition in world models from companies like Runway, Decart and World Labs.
General Intuition in $6B Funding Talks
General Intuition, a New York AI startup building a foundation model to train generalized AI agents for movement in space and time, is in talks to raise funding at a $6 billion pre-money valuation from new investors including Valor Equity Partners, Point72 Ventures, and Seven Seven Six. Existing backers Khosla Ventures and General Catalyst are also participating. The company plans to use proceeds to advance its general model toward robotic embodiments, increasing spend on compute (with a partnership with CoreWeave) and hiring. CEO Pim de Witte spun the company out from the gameplay clip-sharing platform Medal in October 2025. The round is reportedly oversubscribed and still being finalized.
