Hold onto your hats, folks, because Figure CEO Brett Adcock just dropped a bombshell that could redefine robotics as we know it! He’s buzzing with excitement, telling his employees – and now the world via X – that his company might have just created the very first flicker of general intelligence for robots. Adcock calls it “baby AGI” and declares it the most significant moment of his career in robotics. Talk about a bold claim!
But it’s not just talk. Figure is making some serious moves on the hardware front, too. They’ve fully designed their next-generation humanoid, the Figure 04, which Adcock proudly dubs “the iPhone 1 version of humanoids” – a massive leap from previous models. And get this: their new robot hand is a marvel of engineering, boasting more actuators than an entire robot and mind-blowing millimeter-level fingertip tracking. Plus, they’ve already cranked out their 1,000th Figure 03 unit, which, incredibly, costs a whopping 90% less than its predecessor.
So, what’s powering this “baby AGI”? It’s a new model trained on Figure’s absolutely massive dataset, collected through their incredible Index platform. Imagine this: 37.5 million videos, with 210,000 weekly uploaders across 112 countries, feeding 81 minutes of training data into their systems every single second! This data engine is so robust that Figure is now ingesting more of its own-generated data than from all 51 external data producers combined. With over $2 billion in cash and a doubled team, Figure isn’t just dreaming big; they’re building the future, piece by piece.
