General Intuition raises $320M to train AI agents using video game data
10 reported1 unconfirmed
General Intuition, a startup spun out of the gaming clip platform Medal, has raised $320 million at a $2.3 billion valuation to develop AI agents trained on video game gameplay data. The company’s model uses action labels from millions of hours of uploaded gameplay to teach spatial-temporal reasoning, allowing the same AI to control both in-game characters and physical robots. During a visit to its New York office, the company demonstrated an AI agent that had been playing a Fortnite-like game for 100 hours straight, while a quadruped robot powered by the same model navigated the office. The company says it took just eight minutes of real-world robotics data to fine-tune the model for the robot. General Intuition plans to sell its agentic model as an API, with a broader release expected by the end of summer. 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 startup has a total disclosed funding of $454 million, following a $134 million round at launch in October 2025.

The initial training dataset came from hundreds of millions of hours of uploaded gameplay, including action labels showing exactly what buttons players pressed.
The company demonstrated an AI agent playing a Fortnite-like game for 100 hours straight and a quadruped robot navigating an office using the same model.
It took eight minutes of real-world robotics data to fine-tune the model for the quadruped.
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.
Most of the funding will go toward scaling compute capacity, with a deal with CoreWeave.
General Intuition has a handful of customers in gaming, simulation, and robotics.
The company has a policy against using its agents to harm humans, limiting military use cases to search and rescue.
General Intuition recently launched Nerve, a jobs marketplace for gamers to earn money through data labeling and robot teleoperation.
Open questions
Whether the simulation-to-real-world transfer can hold at scale, which the article notes is an open question.
