Maxinsights: The Data Supplier Behind Silicon Valley's Hottest Robots, With 2M+ Hours of Egocentric Data
新智元 · wechat · 2026-09-11
Maxinsights, a Silicon Valley physical AI data company, has been quietly supplying first-person training data to DeepMind, Figure, 1X, Genesis AI, and Dyna Robotics—delivering 2M+ hours of egocentric data with 1.5M hours in inventory and 450K hours/month collection capacity. Its proprietary MaxEgo pipeline handles hand tracking under occlusion, SLAM loop closure, and hierarchical semantic labeling, with 98% of QA automated. Dyna-2's 1M-hour pretraining showed robotics scaling laws hold without a ceiling so far. The company's 5,000+ collectors (homemakers, chefs, farmers) are scheduled by an agent platform that rotates scenes and targets data gaps—turning ordinary people's manual skills into robot training fuel.
