Foundation Models Power Physical Robots | Tech News

AI is shifting from task-specific models to powerful, general-purpose “foundation models” that learn human-like intuition from vast datasets—like video game action data. General Intuition, a startup training its model on millions of hours of gameplay, just raised $320M to power this vision. Their AI can play games for hours, then adapt in just 8 minutes to control real robots—navigating cluttered offices with just a front-facing camera. They’re not building robots themselves, but creating the foundational AI layer others can use to accelerate robotic innovation across industries—from self-driving cars to factory bots. Think of them as building the engine, not the whole car. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
