据知情人士透露,机器人初创公司 Generalist 在完成一笔追加融资后,估值已升至 30 亿美元。新增资金由 8VC 领投,规模接近 2 亿美元。这笔融资是其今年 6 月 B 轮融资的扩展部分,使该轮总融资额增至 6 亿美元。

追加融资接近2亿美元

Generalist 今年 6 月曾宣布完成 4 亿美元 B 轮融资,当时估值为 20 亿美元,领投方为 Radical Ventures。最新一笔资金意味着,公司在短时间内再次获得资本加码,估值也较上一轮明显抬升。

报道援引监管文件称,这笔新增资金接近 2 亿美元。对于相关消息,Generalist 和 8VC 均未回应置评请求。

创始团队来自 DeepMind 和 Boston Dynamics

Generalist 成立于 2024 年,由前 Google DeepMind 研究员 Pete Florence、Andy Zeng,以及前 Boston Dynamics 工程师 Andrew Barry 共同创办。公司早期投资方包括 8VC、Radical Ventures、Nvidia、Union Square Ventures、Bezos Expeditions,以及 AI 研究者李飞飞。

在最近之前,这家公司一直较为低调,公开信息不多。随着融资规模扩大和估值上升,Generalist 开始进入更广泛的市场视野。

通用机器人模型赛道持续升温

Generalist 正在开发一款可适配不同机器人的 AI 基础模型。公司称,最新发布的 Gen 1.5 模型可以让机器人通过时长仅 3 秒到 12 秒的视频演示,学会新的任务。

据知情人士透露,公司目前正与少数客户合作,并根据反馈对模型进行定制,以适配具体应用场景。与此同时,资本也在继续押注通用机器人方向,期待机器人出现类似大模型的能力跃迁。

报道提到,Physical Intelligence 的估值据称已达 110 亿美元,软银支持的 Skild AI 估值约为 140 亿美元,Genesis AI 上月也在洽谈以 30 亿美元估值融资。
