Voicemod and Medal team up to reward gamers and their best clips. Medal Premium members get 30 free days of Voicemod Pro while Voicemod Pro members get 30 free days of Medal Premium. Valencia, Spain - WEBWIRE - Friday, October 16, 2026 Voicemod, the leading real-time voice-changing and soundboard platform for gamers and creators, announced a partnership with Medal, the platform where 16 million gamers capture, edit and share clips of their gameplay. Starting today, Medal Premium members get 30 days of Voicemod Pro, and Voicemod Pro members get 30 days of Medal Premium. Voicemod Pro members who already subscribe to Medal Premium will get an extra month added to their membership. Gamers posted 67.2 million gaming-related Shorts to YouTube alone in 2025, with millions more clips shared across TikTok, Discord, and other platforms. Many of these short-form clips originate from Medal, which in August 2026 hit a record 195M clips uploaded, reaching 2B clips life to date at a 140% CAGR since platform inception. For many PC gamers, content starts while they play. A player might change their voice with Voicemod mid-match, capture it on Medal, and post it minutes later. The partnership rewards members who already use both platforms this way. "Medal users already love Voicemod. Tons of clips are just people hanging out and laughing together. We're excited to see what the communities create," said Ken Colton, CEO of Medal. Claiming the reward is simple. Members link their Voicemod and Medal accounts, and their 30 free days are applied automatically, with no codes and no checkout. The offer is available in supported regions, and terms apply. "Gamers use their voice to bring personality into every session, and Medal is where a lot of those sessions end up being shared," said Jaime Bosch, founder and CEO of Voicemod. "Our communities already overlap, so rewarding them together was an easy decision. Now Medal Premium members can give their clips the same character voices, soundboard drops and reactions that make a session worth sharing in the first place." "When the teams came together, there was an immediate natural fit, and we knew we could do much more beyond ephemeral creator or performance marketing activations," says Alexandra Takei, VP Platform Revenue at Medal. "There's a lot more coming." Expansion plans for the partnership include an upcoming 'Voicemod Quest on Medal,' a new way for players to earn exclusive voices by clipping with Voicemod.

General Intuition nears $6B valuation weeks after $2.3B Series A. General Intuition is in talks to raise at a $6B pre-money valuation with Valor, Point72 and Seven Seven Six, weeks after its $320M Series A. Here is why physical AI is so hot. Key takeaways. * 1General Intuition is reportedly in talks to raise at a $6 billion pre-money valuation, according to TechCrunch, more than 2.5x the $2.3 billion valuation of the $320 million Series A it announced on June 25. * 2The round would bring Valor Equity Partners (SpaceX backer), Point72 Ventures and Seven Seven Six on the cap table alongside returning investors Khosla Ventures and General Catalyst, with proceeds earmarked for robotics-focused model work, CoreWeave compute and hiring. * 3The company's edge is action-labeled gameplay data from Medal's 17 million-plus monthly users, and its valuation trajectory puts it in the same physical-AI funding race as Physical Intelligence ($5.6B) and Skild AI ($14B). Two months ago, General Intuition announced a $320 million Series A at a $2.3 billion valuation. Now, according to TechCrunch, the New York-based startup is in talks to raise again at a $6 billion pre-money valuation, a jump of more than 2.5x in a matter of weeks. Sources close to the deal told TechCrunch the round is oversubscribed and the company is still fielding inbound interest. The reported new investors are notable: Valor Equity Partners, best known for backing SpaceX, would be making its first AI-lab investment; Point72 Ventures and Alexis Ohanian's Seven Seven Six are also said to be joining. Existing backers Khosla Ventures and General Catalyst are participating. The deal is not yet finalized, and the company has not commented publicly on the terms, so the numbers should be read as reported rather than confirmed. For executives watching where AI capital is flowing in 2026, the story is less about one startup and more about a category. Physical AI, models that let machines understand and act in the real world, is now commanding the kind of valuation step-ups that language-model labs saw in 2023 and 2024. Why investors are paying up: the action-label data moat. General Intuition was spun out of Medal, CEO Pim de Witte's gameplay clip-sharing platform, in October 2025. Its pitch rests on one proprietary asset: hundreds of millions of hours of uploaded gameplay from Medal's 17 million-plus monthly active users, each clip carrying action labels, exact records of which buttons a player pressed and when. Most competitors training on video must infer intent from pixels; General Intuition has the ground truth. Vinod Khosla, whose firm led both the $133.7 million seed and the Series A, has framed human action data in games as the ingredient that could produce an intuition-like leap in world models, comparable to the emergence of reasoning in LLMs. The company builds two model families in parallel: world models that predict how an environment evolves given an action, and action models that generate the best action given an observation. At a demo in its New York office, the same underlying model played a Fortnite-style game for 100 hours straight while also driving a quadrupedal robot around the room using a single camera and just eight minutes of real-world fine-tuning data. A commercial API for gaming, simulation and robotics partners has launched, with broader access planned by end of summer 2026. TechCrunch reports the new capital would go primarily toward improving the general model with a focus on robotic embodiments, more compute through its CoreWeave partnership, and hiring. The Physical AI funding race, and what executives should watch. General Intuition's trajectory is unusual even by 2026 standards: $133.7 million seed in October 2025, $320 million Series A closed in January and announced in June, and now a reported third round inside roughly ten months. It has also reportedly turned down multiple acquisition approaches from major AI labs. The context is a well-funded field: Physical Intelligence raised $600 million at a $5.6 billion valuation in November 2025 on real-world manipulation data, and Skild AI raised close to $1.4 billion led by SoftBank at a $14 billion valuation in January 2026 using human video and physics simulation. General Intuition is a third, distinct bet, on gameplay rather than robot logs or simulation, and a $6 billion mark would place it squarely between the two. Three things are worth tracking: * Announced vs. closed. As of this writing the round is in talks. Final valuation, round size and investor lineup could shift before it closes. * Revenue visibility. Public reporting so far describes technology demos and an early API, not a disclosed customer pipeline or revenue figures. The valuation is pricing data advantage and research momentum. * Governance and use limits. The company operates as a public-benefit corporation and de Witte, a former humanitarian-sector worker, has said its agents will not be used to harm humans, ruling out lethal military applications, a constraint that shapes which enterprise and government customers it can pursue. If the deal closes on the reported terms, it will be one of the fastest valuation step-ups of any AI lab this year, and a clear signal that investors now see action data, not just language, as the next scarce input. #General Intuition #physical AI #world models #AI funding #robotics #Khosla Ventures #Valor Equity Partners #Point72 Ventures #Medal #AI startups
