Physical Intelligence

Physical Intelligence is trying to build general-purpose intelligence for robots: one foundation model that can control many different robot bodies. Its π0 and π0.5 models fold laundry, clear tables and work in homes they have never seen. If foundation models successfully cross from screens into the physical world, companies like this become extremely important.

• π0.5 showed robots generalising to entirely new homes.
• Raised $600M at a $5.6B valuation (November 2025).
• Open-weight π0 release seeded a wave of academic and startup robot-learning work.

The company most likely to produce the 'GPT moment' for robots: a general model that makes every humanoid and arm dramatically more capable.
