Figure AI just made robots actually useful. Time to panic 🤖🎙️

Figure AI has unveiled Helix—a system that lets humanoid robots see, understand speech, and act without pre-programming. Now you can say “pass me the cookies”, and the robot will actually find them instead of freezing like Windows 98.

💡 What can it do? Helix is an AI with 7 billion parameters that can handle thousands of objects and adapt to new situations on the fly.

🤯 Fast learning, no excuses Trained on just 500 hours of data, yet it moves naturally, follows multi-step commands, and even works in sync with another robot.

🏠 Where will it be useful? In demos, two robots sorted groceries in a kitchen, responding to voice commands. Now the real question: will they help around the house or just memorize where you keep the knives?
