标准智能：红杉7500万美元投资，训练代理处理原始视频

做的是什么生意

Standard Intelligence is a six-person AI research lab in San Francisco, founded by Galen Mead and Devansh Pandey, building FDM-1: a foundation model pretrained directly on millions of hours of screen video that predicts mouse movements, clicks and keystrokes. Its goal is an agent that explores and operates software the way a person would, and it has also released an open conversational-speech model, hertz-dev.

启动资金：$75M Series A announced April 2026, co-led by Sequoia Capital and Spark Capital, with angels including Andrej Karpathy, Stanley Druckenmiller and Milan Kovac; the team numbered six people at the time of the round.

起因

Galen Mead and Devansh Pandey met in 2022 as teenagers in the Atlas Fellowship, a selective program for high-school students interested in AI alignment, then left their undergraduate programs to found Standard Intelligence. Sequoia's write-up calls their bet the 'Tesla FSD approach applied to knowledge work': pretrain on the raw stream of computer use and let generality emerge, instead of hand-engineering workflows.

经过

FDM-1, the lab's first foundation model trained directly on computer-use video, can extrude a CAD gear in Blender, drive a car around a San Francisco block after an hour of fine-tuning and find bugs by exploring software, according to Sequoia. On April 30, 2026 Standard Intelligence announced a $75M Series A co-led by Sequoia and Spark Capital, with Andrej Karpathy among the angels; Pulse2 reported that the founders say FDM-1 moved computer use 'from a data-constrained regime to a compute-constrained one.'

结果

Still a research lab: FDM-1 has demonstration videos but no public product or API as of April 2026. The round funds compute scaling and alignment research on 'general learners,' and the lab has released an open speech model, hertz-dev, while the six-person team hires researchers.

可借鉴之处

当所有人都围绕现有模型搭建脚手架时，返回到它从未使用的数据：原始屏幕视频成为这个六人实验室相对于所有代理框架的优势。
