There’s so much cool stuff in this and other recent 1x announces I figured I’d do a video on it. LMK if you preordered one!

attention is the only currency that matters in consumer humanoids.
this happened with EVs in china. hundreds of brands, all building the same car, same functionality, same quality -- so people stop caring. they just buy what’s cheapest, or what holds the most brand value.
1x & sunday are the only companies that give a fuck about brand.
in the battle for whose humanoid will reach most homes, everyone should hire a @radbackwards in their team.

Vertical integration should be auditable
So 1X is committing to supply-chain transparency as we move toward true end-to-end vertical integration — raw materials to intelligence.
We’ll show our work. Others should too
English
Assembly is not vertical integration
1X bends the copper, solders the phases, potts the stator and builds the magnet arrays. Raw materials to finished actuators on our automated line.
That is vertical integration. That is reindustrialization

Introducing NEO Factory | Hayward, CA
Scaling manufacturing was always the plan- but after receiving 10,000+ preorders in the first 5 days, we accelerated everything to urgently increase production capacity to fulfill demand.
In just 3 months we built America’s most vertically integrated humanoid robot factory, right here in the Bay Area.

In a world where material, intelligence and power constraints fall away it seems like operating philosophies and principles become more competitively important.
Might be naive, but I find this highly motivational. Let’s build a beautiful future with warmth and kindness.

Real world RL is the end game (after general base models)
Safe hardware is the key unlock to do this at scale. Humans do this effortlessly, we explore, fail, adapt, millions of times, without catastrophic cost
Physical Intelligence@physical_int
We developed an RL method for fine-tuning our models for precise tasks in just a few hours or even minutes. Instead of training the whole model, we add an “RL token” output to π-0.6, our latest model, which is used by a tiny actor and critic to learn quickly with RL.

NEO, the worlds safest humanoid, introducing @BerntBornich for his keynote at this years Abundance Summit
Thanks for having us @PeterDiamandis 🫶

Tbh this art at the factory is extremely inspiring , makes me excited for the future

“…critical insight: the robots are only as good as the actuators and motors … all constrained by the same bottleneck: who manufactures the high-performance actuators, motors, and drive systems at volume?” 1X has manufactured>10k actuators vertically integrated (ex magnets) But we still have a long way to go to scale, 10k robots this year is close to 100k actuators, 2-300k next year is millions Our major bottle neck, access to raw materials with comparable price quality from local suppliers and ofc magnets NEOs are all birthed in Hayward California

Those companies that build their own supply chains will be able to move at the speed or faster than China. If you’re waiting for someone else’s supply chain, you’ve already lost.
That's how @1x_tech under @BerntBornich is staying ahead of the curve.

@BerntBornich btw, I like the atmosphere at Factory 1X. It seems to constantly remind employees what kind of humanoid robots we should be building.
