The Physical Intelligence Layer
General-purpose physical intelligence models will enable a Cambrian explosion of robotics applications. See how our partners are already solving real-world problems.
The Physical Intelligence Layer The Physical Intelligence Layer Published February 24, 2026 Email research@physicalintelligence.company Physical Intelligence Imagine that you have an idea for an app that needs to understand language. You wouldn't start by training foundation models and fine-tuning it for your specific use case or build the entire AI stack from scratch. Instead, you would just make API calls to existing foundation models, and the core intelligence layer for your app is already there. Existing foundation models provide a ready-made intelligence layer that any developer can build
