New AI Tool: Helix 2.5 Has Just Landed on AIxploria

Figure’s Helix 2.5 humanoid AI model got its AIxploria card on 18 September 2026, about 16 hours after Figure’s announcement. We checked it against Figure’s own post: 30 unseen Bay Area homes, 56% zero-shot success against 9% without Index pretraining, 237 of 420 trials (beds 67%, towels 62%, toys 40%). The research numbers hold. The card leaves out the scaling law and the 1.90% cap on any task in pretraining, tags an unbuyable model “Paid”, repeats an unsourced sub-$20,000 price, and its exact #4 badge ranks the model above Figure 03, the robot it runs on.

Humanoid Robot Learns to Sprint and Perform Spin Kicks Using AI Trained on Human Motion Data

A humanoid robot learned to sprint, throw spin kicks and land aerial cartwheels with one training recipe. We read the BeyondMimic paper from UC Berkeley and Stanford behind the headline, split its 70.8% humanlike score into walking and running, show that 15 of about 150 minutes of motion ran on hardware, explain the motion capture behind the obstacle demos and the licence on its training motion, and set it against the sprint records at the World Humanoid Robot Games.
