Physical Intelligence

Physical Intelligence (PI) is a San Francisco-based AI robotics company founded in March 2024 that builds general-purpose foundation models for robot motor control, enabling a single model to perform diverse manipulation tasks—including garment folding—without task-specific reprogramming. Its π0 model weights were open-sourced in February 2025; the company's competitive moat lies in deployment infrastructure and proprietary training data.
