What it does

Founded by DeepMind alumni Pete Florence and Andy Zeng with Boston Dynamics engineer Andrew Barry. Its GEN-0 model (November 2025) argued that robot foundation models follow the same scaling laws as language models. Raised $400M at $2B in June 2026 and a $200M extension at $3B in August.
