"Adcock stated that OpenAI's team provided 'very little' value aside from its brand, emphasizing that AI for robotics required a different set of techniques."
"'In robotics, you've got to run the robot, see how it does,' Adcock explained, highlighting the difficulties in collaboration with OpenAI."
"'I was just like, 'This is over,'' Adcock recalled after receiving a call from OpenAI about pursuing humanoids internally."
Figure initially partnered with OpenAI to develop AI models for robotics, but CEO Brett Adcock later decided to build AI in-house. He criticized OpenAI for providing minimal value beyond its brand and emphasized the need for different techniques in robotics. Adcock's internal team, composed of experts from leading AI companies, faced challenges collaborating with OpenAI. After observing Figure's progress, OpenAI shifted focus to developing humanoid robots internally, prompting Adcock to end their partnership. OpenAI has since established a robotics lab and invested in other robotics companies.
