General Intuition, an AI research lab spun out of Medal, has raised $320 million at a valuation exceeding $2 billion. The company plans to use the funds to scale its unique approach: training foundation models on billions of video game clips rather than static text or images.
The data comes from Medal’s 10 million monthly active users, who upload roughly 2 billion clips per year. Co-founders Pim de Witte, Eloi Alonso, Adam Jelley, and Vincent Micheli are focused on spatial-temporal reasoning-understanding how objects move through space and time-by leveraging user inputs tied to every frame.
The $320 million round follows a $133.7 million seed led by Khosla Ventures and General Catalyst, bringing total funding to over $450 million in under a year. This latest round includes backing from Jeff Bezos and Eric Schmidt.
General Intuition is entering a crowded field, with competitors like Runway, Decart, World Labs, and Google’s Genie project. However, its edge lies in the scale and specificity of its training data: billions of clips paired with real player actions, not just observed video. Potential applications stretch from robotics and autonomous navigation to real-world simulation.
