Figure AI CEO on "Firing" OpenAI: "We just got like no value out of the whole relationship." Figure founder Brett Adcock brought a Figure 03 to Shawn Ryan's podcast, where he went into detail about the startup's early relationship with OpenAI that dissolved a year after it started. Adcock, who previously founded Archer Aviation, said the arrangement was useful for fundraising at first but not much else. "We just found that the team we had internally. We just ran like kind of circles around them like every day," he said. The breaking point came when he learned that OpenAI planned to restart its robotics program. That meant Figure's engineers would essentially be teaching a competitor. “We’re like teaching you how to do robot learning… you’re seeing our progress," he said. "There’s no way we’re going to teach you how to do this stuff anymore.” It was Adcock's first appearance for a podcaster who's not a Figure AI investor since the split. It was recorded around the time First Lady Melania Trump welcomed the $39 billion startup's third-generation robot, the Figure 03, at the White House for a summit on technology and education. Figure AI has developed its own vision-language-action model called Helix.
