Neocloud Nscale has signed a multi-year agreement with humanoid robotics company Figure.. The agreement will see Nscale deploying up to 100,000 Nvidia Vera Rubin GPUs for Figure at its data center in Barstow, Texas.. – Nscale. Nscale’s Barstow data center is leased from Bitcoin miner Ionic Digital.
It is located at 3013 FM 516, and has 234MW of capacity. Nscale is also deploying AI infrastructure for Microsoft at the site.. The contract with Figure has an initial value of $3.5 billion, with the intent to scale to more than $6 billion over time.
Nscale will become a shareholder in Figure with a “strategic investment,” and will be Figure’s preferred compute provider.. Figure will use Nscale’s compute to train its AI model, Helix.. “We’re excited to partner with Figure as physical intelligence becomes AI’s next frontier,” said Josh Payne, CEO and founder of Nscale.
“We’ve seen incredible growth with inference and agentic AI, and Figure is pushing the boundaries of AI even further. We’re proud to be enabling the future of AI robotics together.”. “Humanoid robots extend physical AI into the world designed for people – opening a major new industry,” added Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia.
“Nscale and Figure have activated the robotics flywheel: training Figure’s models on Nvidia Vera Rubin through Nscale’s AI cloud, validating them in Nvidia Isaac Sim, and deploying them on Nvidia GPUs in Figure’s robots. This is the physical AI flywheel that will accelerate the path from models to robots in the world.”.
Figure is developing autonomous general-purpose humanoid robots, with the aim of achieving human-level intelligence to enable the robots to perform a variety of tasks in the industrial and home markets.. Nscale is nearing an initial public offering in the US, from which it is reportedly aiming to raise $3bn..
