Figure AI

The Information reported on 2026-10-07, citing a person familiar with the matter, that Nvidia has discussed investing another $1 billion in Figure AI. The report says Figure is trying to raise additional financing at roughly a $38 billion pre-money valuation, with no closing date or final terms established. It points to a new primary round for Figure with an existing strategic investor, priced roughly level with its $39 billion post-money Series C of September 2025.

Figure AI published Helix 2.5 on 17 September 2026, reporting zero-shot whole-body autonomy across 30 previously unseen Bay Area homes with no data collected, fine-tuning or adaptation in those environments. Across three long-horizon behaviours - tidying living rooms, folding towels and making beds, scored all-or-nothing with no partial credit - a policy trained from scratch succeeded on 9% of zero-shot trials while the Index-pretrained policy succeeded on 56%, and behaviour specification used half the task-specific data for 30x the scope. Helix is the robotics foundation model underpinning Figure's home-deployment roadmap, so a disclosed generalisation result at this scope is the core technical evidence behind its valuation.
