General Intuition, a New York-based AI startup, announced in June 2026 that it has raised $320 million in a funding round that values the company at $2.3 billion. The round was led by Khosla Ventures, with participation from General Catalyst, Jeff Bezos, Eric Schmidt, Nico Rosberg, and researchers at Google DeepMind and MIT. The new capital brings General Intuition’s total disclosed funding to $454 million, following a $134 million round at launch in October 2025.
The company is building AI agents trained on millions of hours of video game footage sourced from Medal, a gaming clip-sharing platform founded by General Intuition CEO Pim de Witte. The core of the approach is not the video itself, but the action labels embedded in those clips — records of exactly which buttons players pressed and when. De Witte argues that most competitors attempt to infer actions from video alone, which he says is insufficient for developing genuine spatial-temporal reasoning.
The same AI model powering an in-office agent playing a Fortnite-like game also powers a quadrupedal robot navigating the company’s office. According to the company, just eight minutes of real-world data collected on a street was enough to fine-tune the model for the robot — data gathered in a different environment than where the robot was ultimately deployed.
The majority of the new funding will go toward scaling compute capacity through a deal with CoreWeave, with a portion earmarked to make General Intuition’s API more broadly available by the end of summer 2026. The company’s stated goal is to act as a model provider — enabling others to build applications in gaming, simulation, robotics, and autonomous vehicles on top of its technology.
De Witte has also stated that General Intuition’s models will not be used for lethal autonomous weapons, though he indicated search and rescue applications are acceptable. The company has separately launched Nerve, a jobs marketplace allowing gamers to earn income through data labeling and robot teleoperation tasks.
Whether the company’s simulation-to-real-world transfer can hold at scale remains an open question, according to investor Vinod Khosla, who nonetheless described the proprietary data position as central to the company’s long-term potential.
