Figure cofounder Brett Adcock amplified an announcement from research lead Corey Lynch: Figure has struck a $3.5 billion deal to scale its Helix embodied-AI model to up to 100,000 NVIDIA Vera Rubin GPUs.
"Putting an intelligent, general purpose robot in every home will require massive scale in both data and compute," Lynch wrote. Adcock added that humanoid robots are "the ultimate deployment vector for AGI" and that Figure is hiring aggressively.
