About Imbue
Imbue is an AI research company building AI agents that can reason and code, with the long-term goal of enabling people to build their own software and tools. Formerly known as Generally Intelligent, Imbue trains its own large foundation models optimized for reasoning and develops agent systems and developer tooling aimed at robust, verifiable AI that non-experts can direct.
Company History
Founded in 2021 as Generally Intelligent by Kanjun Qiu and Josh Albrecht, the company rebranded to Imbue in 2023. It raised a $200M Series B (2023) at a reported $1B+ valuation from investors including NVIDIA and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. Imbue trained a 70B-parameter reasoning model and open-sourced tooling from that effort, focusing on AI agents that can reliably reason, code, and act on a user's behalf.
