it does seem like utilizing text & video to scale up to physics understanding of the real world is likely not enough. google is doing a bit of this with street view maps data simulation for this but the video game unlock seems absolutely legit esp if you have the full end to end loop of consequence mapping for ai to learn from that’s insanely rich (e.g. controller input → camera movement → game state transition → physics/collision response → npc reaction → player choice → reward/failure/social outcome). i personally grew up playing a ton of videogames as a kid including one of the first games to ever have open ended world simulation (it was called shenmue, absolutely pioneering, look it up). these guys seem to have a good understanding that these feedback loops in actual game play is the best data set for ai to behave in human contexts because that’s precisely how we learn & explore when we are young (like watch a kid play around).

They even allowed special release for CNBC segments. Really progressing their values lately. Apparently Morocco beating the Netherlands had something to do with it 😉

the new auto endpoints look simple b/c they absorb a lot of the complexity and hide it from you to make them fast. and now, you can use those building blocks for your own apps on @modal !
Our new Auto Endpoints feature is powered by a new Modal primitive: Modal Servers. In this blogpost, we walk through design principles and detailed architecture: @EnvoyProxy, @googlecloud Spanner config store, and a @Cloudflare Pingora-based custom proxy.

Here is @max_rimpel going deeper into the company and our bet on the next stage of pre-training:
“The digital world lacks physical information. The physical world lacks dense digital information. Games perfectly merge these two together, and we believe that’s just the next phase of pretraining.” Every few weeks @gen_intuition ships new emergent capabilities that are orthogonal to anything you see in the LLM world.

Two Point Three Billion reasons to understand what General Intuition is up to: notboring.co/p/world-models
Announcing our $320M Series A at a $2.3B valuation, led by @khoslaventures, with @generalcatalyst, @ericschmidt and @JeffBezos. General Intuition is the frontier lab for acting in space and time. We build large action foundation models trained on billions of ground truth action-labeled gameplay clips from 17M monthly active users on Medal, and push the frontier of world models to generate infinite training environments.

If you’d have told me this is where @PimDeWitte and I making games over a decade ago was going to go, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. But here they are, and the team at @gen_intuition is absolutely crushing it. Watching clips of the model always blows my mind.

As @PimDeWitte and I learned first hand growing up inside RuneScape, there is an immense amount of intelligence, ingenuity, and learning within games and their players. It is incredibly validating to prove this out at General Intuition. Now, we believe we have the recipe to solve one of the foundational problems in AI: acting in space and time. Our early results continue to validate this direction – and we’re happy to share them with anyone who wants to visit us in NYC. Onwards!!

Today, we are announcing our $320M fundraise at $2.3B valuation to build models that can act in space and time. I’ve always been fascinated by how the human brain works, and what about it makes each of us so unique in our intelligence. The answer I always come back to is that we are the product of our actions. As humans, we constantly take action, observe, act again, etc. This cycle is the atom of how we solve problems and exert our intelligence, and games are the largest data set of actions by far. With this round, we will prove two things: 1) that models trained to predict what to do in games will transfer to the real world (most robots are powered by game controllers) and 2) that the next frontier in intelligence lies behind understanding the diverse ways that humans solve problems in 3D space. This is only possible by bringing together Medal and General Intuition. And our incredible investors at Khosla Ventures, General Catalyst and futurepresent. If you want to play in the highest ELO competition in history, we are hiring: generalintuition.com, play the real world.

We have raised $320M from @khoslaventures, @generalcatalyst, @JeffBezos, @ericschmidt, and others. In the same way the internet enabled scaling for LLMs, we believe @gen_intuition has the key to pretraining for embodied intelligence.
