Overview
- The companies reported an initial $3.5 billion collaboration that could grow beyond $6 billion and centers on supplying massive GPU capacity to Figure.
- Nscale has agreed to deliver up to 100,000 NVIDIA Vera Rubin GPUs, high‑end accelerators designed for large model training, to support Figure’s Helix system that powers its humanoid robots.
- Hardware installations are planned to begin in the second half of 2027 with equipment staged for deployment in Barstow, Texas.
- The deal includes reciprocal elements: Nscale will make a strategic investment in Figure and will trial Figure’s robots to help with supply‑chain and data‑center operations.
- The arrangement highlights a growing market for specialized AI infrastructure firms that scale GPU fleets for compute‑hungry robotics workloads and could speed Figure’s move from prototypes toward broader real‑world deployments.
