Frontier AI research company building embodied foundation models for general-purpose robots, with GEN-1 achieving 99% task success rates.
Generalist AI is a frontier AI research and product company headquartered in San Mateo, California, on a mission to make general-purpose robots a reality. Founded in 2024 by Pete Florence (CEO), Andy Zeng (Chief Scientist), and Andrew Barry (CTO) — alumni of Google DeepMind and Boston Dynamics — the company builds embodied foundation models starting with dexterous manipulation. Their flagship GEN-1 model improves average task success rates to 99% versus 64% for prior models, runs roughly three times faster, and requires only one hour of robot data per task.
GEN-0, released in November 2025, brought robots into the pretraining era. The company has raised over $500M including a $400M round led by Radical Ventures, with backing from NVIDIA, Bezos Expeditions, Spark Capital, and Boldstart Ventures.
