Everything said about Helix, oldest first

May 1, 2026 bullish
Assertion Supported
Adcock: Figure robots run Helix AI inference onboard without network connectivity
“We run Helix on board. So they're actually loaded into GPUs on board and memory, and we run inference on board. Meaning if we if we lose internet connection, we can still do housework and logistics.”

Prediction Not checkable as stated
Adcock: Figure's data collection will generalize across global environments
“Our hypothesis now is that we will see enormous amount of positive transfer from the data collection efforts we're doing now into pre-training across, like, basically any environment in the world.”

Adcock: Data is Figure's biggest blocker to large-scale humanoid deployment
“The biggest blocker for us now of going from where we're at today to, like large-scale deployment is data. We need, like, an enormous amount of data.”

Assertion Not checkable as stated
Adcock: Figure demonstration robots run purely autonomously with onboard Helix AI
“This is not tele-operated. For sure not tele-operated. No secret room. these robots are running purely autonomously from an onboard AI policy called Helix running onboard the robot in the torso.”

Disclosure
Adcock: Figure Helix AI trained on under one million hours of data
“We've probably had in Helix, like the, like, in, like, kind of base, pre, and mid-training Helix models that we're working on now have maybe, like, maybe, like, a little under a million hours of total data. And then we also do from mid-training and pre-trainin…”

Assertion Supported
Adcock: Figure robots run entirely on Helix vision-language-action model
“You can't write code to make this work. So all of our robots here run on a neural network we call Helix. It's a vision language action model we designed here internally to tell the robot what to go do, to stay balanced, like how to move its joints basically fr…”

Assertion Supported
Adcock: Figure runs onboard neural network inference hundreds of times per second
“And we have to do that like a few hundred times a second from camera images and on a neural network that runs on board the robot.”
