Item starts with game data
General Information is one of the companies that has received high-profile attention in the recent "physical AI" track. The company wants to train a universal basic model that allows AI agents to perform actions in space and time, not just to process text or images.

The early data used by the company are derived from the hundreds of millions of hours of games accumulated by the platform, as well as the “action labels” of which the player presses the keys at different points of time.

According to those close to the deal, the company plans to use new funds mainly to upgrade generic model capabilities and to focus on robotic carriers. This means that the company will then increase its computing infrastructure inputs and continue to expand its team.
