General Intuition raises $2.3B on bet that video games can train AI agents for the real world

General Intuition has secured $320 million in new funding, bringing its valuation to $2.3 billion. The startup, founded by Pim de Witte, utilizes massive amounts of proprietary gameplay data—specifically action-labeled clips from its parent platform, Medal—to train AI models in spatial-temporal reasoning. By teaching AI to navigate virtual environments like video games, the company aims to create "agentic" models that can perform complex tasks in the real world, such as controlling robotics. Investors, including Khosla Ventures, believe this approach to "intuition-like" AI represents a significant leap forward in foundation models, moving beyond traditional LLMs to enable generalized physical autonomy.
