Physical AI & World Models · Founded 2024 · Series B
Physical Intelligence is a San Francisco start-up building general-purpose foundation models that let robots understand language and carry out varied physical tasks. Its research focuses on robot manipulation, learning and real-time control, so the company's output is software intelligence for robots rather than hardware of its own. The company was founded in 2024 by researchers with backgrounds at Google DeepMind, Stanford and Berkeley. It employs roughly 80 people and has said it has no fixed timeline for commercialisation. Backers include Thrive Capital, Lux Capital, CapitalG, Jeff Bezos and OpenAI. Reports in 2026 described talks for a further round of about $1 billion at a valuation above $11 billion, although this has not been confirmed by the company.
