From Fortnite to Robots: General Intuition Raises $320M at $2.3B Valuation, Training AI on Gameplay

Friends, quick AI news: General Intuition raised $320M at a $2.3B valuation, betting on gameplay data to train agents.

Key points:
- The same model controls an agent in Fortnite and a quadruped — team says only 8 minutes of real-world data suffice for fine-tuning.
- Advantage stems from millions of hours of labeled gameplay video, helping the model distinguish self from environment.
- Round led by Khosla Ventures; most funds will scale compute and launch an API this summer.

Why it matters: if scalable, games could become a data source for robots and simulations.

How applicable is gameplay to safety-critical physical tasks?
