  Generalist (Generalist AI) is a frontier AI research and product company building general
  intelligence for the physical world — embodied foundation models that train general-purpose
  robots to perform real-world physical tasks with human-level dexterity. Founded in 2024 by
  researchers drawn from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Boston Dynamics (contributors to PaLM-E,
  RT-2, Gemini Robotics, Atlas, Spot, and the scaling of ChatGPT and GPT-4), the company has
  released GEN-0 and GEN-1 — large multimodal embodied models that emit robot actions in real
  time across factories, warehouses, laboratories, restaurants, farms, homes, and space
  applications. GEN-1 is positioned as the first general physical AI model to cross a
  commercial-viability threshold. Generalist raised $400M in 2026 at roughly a $2B valuation
  ($500M+ total). It operates from the San Francisco Bay Area and Boston and, as of this
  profile, publishes no public developer API, SDK, or documentation surface.
