Physical Intelligence, a two-year-old robotics startup based in San Francisco, is reportedly in talks to raise around $1 billion in new funding, according to Bloomberg. The deal could value the company at over $11 billion — nearly double its $5.6 billion valuation from just four months ago.
Investors expected to participate include Founders Fund and Lightspeed Venture Partners, alongside existing backers Thrive Capital and Lux Capital. The deal is still in early stages and may change.
Co-founder Sergey Levine described the company’s vision as building something like ChatGPT, but for robots.
The company is developing general-purpose AI models that enable robots to perform a wide range of tasks, such as folding laundry and preparing food.
Co-founder Lachy Groom noted that there is no defined timeline for commercialization — an unusual stance that does not seem to concern investors. He emphasized that the company can continue scaling investment, especially given the growing demand for computational power.
