Figure AI released Helix 2.5, the vision-language neural model powering its humanoid robot, demonstrating generalized performance across a variety of unseen home environments.
The company also published 4 hours of continuous footage showing Helix 2.5-powered robots performing tasks in different homes. Commenters are calling it the cusp of the "Physical Intelligence age" (quote via beffjezos).
