- General Intuition is in talks to raise ~$300M at a ~$2B valuation, eight months after spinning out of Medal with a $134M seed round.
- Jeff Bezos and Eric Schmidt are backing the round alongside existing investors Khosla Ventures and General Catalyst.
- Pim de Witte founded General Intuition with co-founders Eloi Alonso, Adam Jelley, and Vincent Micheli — researchers with world-modeling and simulation expertise.
- Medal's dataset of 2 billion videos per year from 10 million monthly active users gives General Intuition first-person gameplay footage to train spatial-temporal reasoning.
- OpenAI previously attempted to acquire Medal, and other major AI labs have also approached the startup.
- Unlike Runway, Decart, World Labs, and Google's Genie 3, General Intuition sells trained agents as the product rather than the world models themselves.
- The funds will scale compute capacity for a new product targeted by end of summer or early fall.
Why it matters: General Intuition's leap from a $134M seed to a $2B+ valuation in eight months — anchored by Medal's 2-billion-video-per-year dataset — pressures rivals Runway, Decart, World Labs, and Google's Genie 3, all chasing the same gaming and robotics training customers with a different bet.
