Scoop: Generalist raises another $200 million for AI robotics

• The basic idea is to help robots better understand and operate in the physical world, including improving dexterity.

Zoom in: 8VC led the new round, per a source, and was joined by several other existing investors.

• No specific info on valuation, except that it's above the $2 billion mark from June.
• The company didn't respond to Axios' request for comment, but did disclose the round in a federal filing.

Catch up quick: Generalist, which builds models rather than robotic hardware, was founded by alumni of Google DeepMind and Boston Dynamics.

• Backers include Nvidia, Bezos Expeditions, Radical Ventures, USV, Hanabi, Spark Capital, and Fei-Fei Li.

Look ahead: Don't be surprised to see Generalist eveseek even more money, likely with an outside lead investor, given the VC feedy frenzy for such companies.
