Figure AI becomes most expensive robotics startup
Figure AI raises $1 billion at $39 billion valuation. Making it the most expensive robotics startup in the world.
The investor list includes NVIDIA, Intel Capital, LG, Salesforce and other renowned investors. Raised funds will be directed toward scaling humanoid robot production and developing computational infrastructure for training and simulations. As well as improving data collection systems. Particularly relevant here will be new graphics cards from NVIDIA, specifically optimized for robotics.
Just in the last year alone, Figure AI demonstrated a series of breakthrough achievements. First to create a robot with advanced reasoning system and universal VLA model Helix. Successfully integrated their robots at BMW factory for real tasks. Made engineering breakthrough in transferring skills from simulations to real world without additional training. Also announced their own robot production. Where robots will assemble robots.

Interesting concept of AI economy is presented in new Google DeepMind research. Link in description. Scientists analyzed rapidly forming reality. In which AI agents transform into independent economic players, capable of trading, negotiating and creating value without direct human participation. And if this process remains without proper control, autonomous systems may form their own parallel economy, closely connected to human one. Which carries both enormous opportunities and serious risks.
