General Intuition raises $320M to train robots using video game data

What happened

General Intuition raised $320 million（約510億円） in Series A funding, bringing its total funding to $454 million（約730億円） and valuation to $2.3 billion（約3700億円）. The New York-based company uses billions of gameplay clips from Medal, a gaming platform, to train AI models that can perceive, predict, and act in physical and virtual environments.

Why it matters

Most AI training relies on text or simulated data, but General Intuition argues that video game footage is more valuable because it captures humans perceiving an environment and deciding how to move through it—with embedded action labels showing exactly when players press buttons. This approach may help bridge the gap between language-based AI and the embodied intelligence needed for physical robotics.

What to watch

General Intuition plans to scale its compute capacity and pretraining for its next model version. The company also intends to make its API more broadly available this summer.
