General Intuition, a New York based AI company, has raised $320 million in Series A funding at a $2.3 billion valuation. The round pushes the company’s total funding to $454 million, following the $134 million it raised in October.
The financing was led by Khosla Ventures, with backing from a group of well-known investors that includes Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and former Google chief executive Eric Schmidt.
The company’s approach is unusual. It trains AI models using billions of gameplay clips uploaded to Medal, a platform where people post their gaming moments. Those hundreds of millions of hours of footage gave General Intuition the initial dataset to train a model in spatial and temporal reasoning. The key piece is the action data embedded in the clips, the precise record of which buttons a player pressed and exactly when.
With the new capital, General Intuition plans to build AI models that can perceive, predict, and act across both virtual and physical settings. The longer-term goal is to commercialize the underlying agentic AI model, which the company believes can generalize across gaming, robotics, autonomous systems, industrial automation, and other applications.
The size of the round, and the names attached to it, point to growing investor conviction that gameplay footage may be an underused source of training data for robotics and autonomous systems.
