AI DEVELOPMENT
Figure Introduces Cutting-Edge System for Smarter Household Robots

Humanoid robot company Figure has unveiled Helix, a new AI Vision-Language-Action model that enables robots to understand voice commands and manage objects they've never encountered before. This marks a major leap forward in the development of practical household robots.

Key highlights:

• Helix combines a 7B-parameter "brain" for comprehension with a rapid 80M-parameter model to ensure precise movement control.

• During a demonstration, two robots successfully used natural language commands to put away unfamiliar groceries.

• The system runs efficiently on basic onboard GPUs, requiring only 500 hours of training data—significantly less than traditional approaches.

• This breakthrough follows closely after Figure’s separation from OpenAI, signaling confidence in their own in-house technology.

Why it matters: While robots are already making an impact in industrial environments, the real question is when humanoid robots will start taking on household tasks. Figure’s scalable system brings this vision closer to reality, allowing robots to navigate the unique challenges of a home environment.

PROMPT OF THE DAY
Craft Targeted Ads with ChatGPT

PROMPT👇

Create a chatbot script that helps assess and qualify potential leads by engaging them in conversation, gathering key information, and determining their suitability for further sales or marketing efforts. The script should ask relevant questions, evaluate responses, and guide the conversation toward identifying high-value leads.

This prompt will design a chatbot script that automates the process of gathering essential information from potential leads to evaluate their interest and eligibility for your product or service, helping prioritize high-quality leads.

AI DESIGNS

Create a stylish digital painting of two elegant women in a dimly lit, luxurious hotel lobby. One woman has long, flowing platinum blonde hair and wears a sleek black dress with a high slit. The other woman has long, dark hair tied back and wears a sleek dark red suit.  Depict them in a close, intimate moment: with the dark-haired woman pulling the blonde close, with their faces inches apart, and about to share a tender kiss. Use warm, moody lighting and a semi-realistic anime-inspired art style with expressive facial features and elegant detailing on clothing. Focus on conveying the emotional connection between the two women.

AI FUN FACT
DID YOU KNOW?

Some AI models, like those used in natural language processing, thrive in quiet, "solitary" environments—meaning, the more focused and isolated the data input (free from noise or distractions), the more accurately the model can learn and predict! It's like how humans might concentrate better in a quiet space without interruptions.
