Text and speech generation will become actions emitted by world models

General Intuition CEO Pim de Witte argues that language generation will be subsumed as one of many action outputs of world models rather than remaining the core foundation.

“I think text prediction is just one of the actions that is going to come out of these, you know, these policies and world models. I think speech and text generation will just be one of the actions that, that can be a part of that.”

General Intuition's foundation agent runs purely on vision without reinforcement learning
“This is just a base model. There's no RL, no fine tuning. This model sees no game states. It is purely capable, not sequence acceptance. It's purely predicting the actions from the phrase. That's it.”
General Intuition action models turn internet videos into free training data
“We transferred it over to a real world video, which means that you can use any video on the internet as free training.”
Gameplay footage teaches spatial reasoning better than YouTube videos, says de Witte
“When you're playing video games, you're actually simulating the optical dynamics with your hand, right? And I think that, like, that's why I think why games are a better representation of switch support reasoning initially than YouTube videos, for instance.”
