Figure CEO Brett Adcock teased an 'AI breakthrough' showcase for the next day, but a reply instantly deflated it: 'you used gemini flash 4.8 live, we get it'—implying the demo likely relies on Google's off-the-shelf live model rather than in-house AI. The exchange adds both hype and skepticism ahead of Figure's reveal.
