I'm excited to share what I've been working on since finishing my PhD earlier this year: General Intuition! We're a research lab building novel foundation models that require deep spatial and temporal reasoning - for the benefit of video games, and the real world.

From the first meeting with the one and only @PimDeWitte last October, to finishing my PhD and co-founding General Intuition together with @EloiAlonso1 and @micheli_vincent earlier this year, the last year has been quite the journey to say the least!
Introducing General Intuition. We build foundation models and general agents for environments that require deep spatial and temporal reasoning. Deeply grateful to @vkhosla @htaneja for backing us, and @EloiAlonso1 @AdamJelley2 and @micheli_vincent who created a world-class lab.

On a random Saturday last October, @PimDeWitte reached out about a wild, large and incredibly diverse dataset of gaming clips. I was skeptical - such a dataset felt like a secret archaeological treasure. We dug. It’s real.

We’re starting a company to build the next frontier of embodied intelligence - General Intuition We believe the time has come to move from words to worlds, and we’re developing foundation models capable of acting in any environment. Starting with video games!

We believe there's a wealth of untapped intelligence to be found in video games, that can move the frontier from words to worlds to enable models with a more general intuition of their environment. Read more about our launch here:

Awesome to see this released and out in the world now. Huge congrats to the entire team! It was super cool to see the vision come to life as an intern with everything coming together 👏
Nature published Microsoft research detailing our WHAM, an AI model that generates video game visuals & controller actions. We're releasing the model weights, sample data & WHAM Demonstrator on Azure AI Foundry to enable researchers to build on this work. https://t.co/R3Pt8iwPBH

You can now play fully generative games on an interactive video model, and we’ve collected together them together at https://t.co/DmIw6IgOri. You can now play Mario Kart 64, Minecraft, CS:GO and many other games on your own device. All open source.
