Figure Signs $3.5B Nscale Deal for Up to 100,000 GPUs for Humanoid AI

The partnership gives Figure a path to far larger training capacity, but its first Texas deployment is still targeted for the second half of 2027. Figure has signed a partnership with Nscale to deploy up to 100,000 GPUs on NVIDIA ’s Vera Rubin platform for training Helix, its AI model for general robotics and humanoid robots. The Nscale agreement is intended to supply the compute side of that equation.

OpenAI’s Jalapeño Claims Up to 1.9x Efficiency Gain, but Leaves Nvidia Training Intact

The Broadcom co-developed inference processor is headed for deployment by year-end. Its published gains are meaningful, but they exclude model training and Nvidia’s Vera Rubin platform. OpenAI says Jalapeño, its custom chip co-developed with Broadcom, delivered up to 1.9 times higher throughput per kilowatt and 1.7 to 3.6 times lower end-to-end latency than Nvidia GB200 and GB300 systems in published tests.

The company presented Jalapeño’s first benchmark results at Hot Chips, framing the chip as the opening generation of a longer-term silicon platform. Source: openai.com.
