    TLDR

    Corey Lynch of Figure AI posted that the company is exiting stealth with Index, a global collection effort for physical robot data. He stated the project has more than 264,000 downloads across more than 100 countries and sees 30 minutes of physical data uploaded every second. Reporter J.D. Capelouto described users, called creators, receiving headsets and payment to record everyday tasks as Figure AI enters the data collection business.

    @coreylynchLLMs trained on the internet. Robots need their own civilization-scale dataset. We're coming out of stealth today with Index, a global collection effort with >264,000 downloads over >100 countries. Watch 30 minutes of physical data get uploaded every second:
    @jdcapeloutoFigure AI (the highest-valued robotics startup globally) is getting in the data collection biz, and taking the consumer route-- Users (the company is calling them "Creators") can get a headset sent to them, and then they get paid to record themselves doing everyday tasks:
    @adcock_brettWe're now over 43,000 weekly active users collecting data to train Helix, our AI model for F.03 robots This data collection project, Index, is our answer to the data problem: the largest useful robot training dataset in the world Extrapolate out, and this is the pretraining needed for large scale robot generalization The effort started by purchasing data from vendors but this data was scarce and really poor quality - there was simply no way to make this work correctly at scale. So we did it ourselves. It was quite a massive effort that has now resulted in a Figure-owned data pipeline that is unmatched
