General Intuition is raising funds at a $6 billion valuation. It builds AI agents that navigate space and time.
The money will boost robotics work and compute.
The round is oversubscribed, sources say.
What happened
General Intuition, a New York-based startup building AI agents that move through 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 investors Khosla Ventures and General Catalyst are also participating. The round comes weeks after the company raised $320 million at a $2.3 billion valuation.
Why it matters
The fresh funds are aimed at improving its general model with a focus on robotic embodiments, meaning more spending on compute infrastructure and hiring. The startup spun out of Medal, using hundreds of millions of hours of gameplay and action labels as initial data. Investor Vinod Khosla believes those labels will help models generalize across tasks they weren't explicitly trained on.
What to watch
The round is still being finalized and is oversubscribed, according to a source. Valor Equity Partners, known for backing SpaceX, would be making its first AI lab investment since then, pending confirmation from TechCrunch.

General Intuition's rapid rise reflects investor appetite for physical AI, where models act in the real world. The startup leverages Medal's gameplay data, which records button presses and timings, to teach agents intuitive decision-making. Vinod Khosla sees this as key to the emergence of intuition, enabling generalization beyond explicit training.
The new round, still being finalized, is oversubscribed, indicating strong demand. Funds will go to compute infrastructure via a partnership with CoreWeave, and talent hiring. Valor Equity Partners' potential entry marks a notable shift, as it has not backed an AI lab since SpaceX. The valuation jump from $2.3B to $6B in weeks underscores the sector's momentum.
