“We’re excited to partner with Figure as physical intelligence becomes AI’s next frontier,” said Josh Payne, CEO and Founder of Nscale. “We’ve seen incredible growth with inference and agentic AI and Figure is pushing the boundaries of AI even further. We’re proud to be enabling the future of AI robotics together.”
As part of the agreement, Nscale is also making a strategic investment in Figure. The partnership reflects a shared approach to vertically integrated AI: Nscale provides the power, compute platform, and orchestration layer while integrating NVIDIA’s advanced AI infrastructure to ensure that Figure’s models – from training to deployment – run with maximum efficiency and performance. As part of the partnership, the parties will also explore the potential to scale Nscale’s supply chain with humanoids.
“Humanoid robots extend physical AI into the world designed for people—opening a major new industry,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Nscale and Figure have activated the robotics flywheel: training Figure’s models on NVIDIA Vera Rubin through Nscale’s AI cloud, validating them in NVIDIA Isaac Sim, and deploying them on NVIDIA GPUs in Figure’s robots. This is the physical AI flywheel that will accelerate the path from models to robots in the world.”
“To bring humanoid robots to every home in the world, we are largely constrained by data and compute. Our AI model, Helix, becomes more capable the same way every learned system does: with more data and compute. Today we’re excited to partner with Nscale to bring the compute required to make this vision a reality.” said Brett Adcock, Founder and CEO, Figure.
