Know what it looks for.
Physical Intelligence (often written as π or PI) is a San Francisco research lab building general-purpose foundation models that let any robot perform any task, from the open-sourced π0 to the 2026 π0.7 model and the Pi API beta used by partners like Weave, Ultra and Actor. Founded in 2024 by Karol Hausman, Sergey Levine, Chelsea Finn and former Google DeepMind and Stripe colleagues, it has raised over $1 billion and was reportedly in talks at a $20 billion valuation in October 2026 while staying deliberately research-first. Interviews there are small-team and founder-involved, with behavioral signals probed inside technical rounds: expect deep walkthroughs of your own work, practical coding, ML systems design around robot data, and questions about ownership, reliability and why you want to work on robot learning now.
