Generalist

Generalist is a frontier AI robotics company building general-purpose embodied AI models that let robots master complex physical tasks. Its GEN-1 model achieves 99% reliability on dexterous manipulation — versus 64% for prior approaches — with 3x faster execution and emergent improvisational capabilities.

Founded in 2024 by Pete Florence (former DeepMind robotics lead), Andy Zeng (co-author of PaLM-E), and Andrew Barry (Boston Dynamics), Generalist raised a $400M Series A led by Radical Ventures in 2026 at a $2B valuation.
