There are chapters of the humanoid race you can't buy with unlimited money: the deep engineering of the hardware and designing the right AI recipe And then there are chapters money can buy. Figure has entered the chapter of scaling intelligence through data and compute

@Figure_robot just stacked the two halves of the Physical AI bottleneck a week apart. First Index: a creator network collecting real-world task video at roughly half an hour of uploads every second, across homes and workplaces in 100+ countries. That is the long-tail data you do not get from a lab teleop setup. Then Nscale: $3.5B of compute to start, intent past $6B, up to 100,000 NVIDIA Vera Rubin GPUs. @adcock_brett said they are largely constrained by data and compute. Index is the data bet. Nscale is the compute bet. Figure's own writeup says the quiet part: data alone cannot solve this. My take: Compute is a prerequisite. Collecting more data is critical. But finding the 1% of data that actually teaches the model is what compounds. Search and curation, not just capture. That's the problem we are focused on solving at @Foxglove.
