Generalist builds general-purpose robots and embodied foundation models for the physical world, starting with dexterity, across data, models, and hardware.
Generalist is a frontier AI research and product-driven company building general-purpose robots and embodied foundation models - general intelligence for the physical world - with an initial focus on dexterity. Its work spans embodied AI, foundation models, dexterous manipulation, vision-language-action models, and robot hardware engineering, advancing data, models, and hardware together so that robots can intelligently interact with the physical world. Applications span industrial and commercial industries, homes and domestic environments, and autonomous driving.
The company's distinction lies in the record of the people building it. Its researchers, roboticists, and company builders come from OpenAI, Boston Dynamics, Google DeepMind, and other frontier labs. They have scaled ChatGPT and GPT-4 to hundreds of millions of users; pioneered large embodied multimodal models and vision-language-action models, including PaLM-E, RT-2, and Gemini Robotics; built next-generation robots such as Atlas, Spot, and Stretch; and engineered the foundations of autonomous driving.
Generalist operates at the intersection of frontier research and shipping products, with the stated mission of making general-purpose robots a reality and a conviction that humans and machines will work together in new ways. The company has offices in the Bay Area, CA and Boston, MA.
