OpenAI models for Figure robots (speech and reasoning)

In February 2024 Figure announced a deal with OpenAI to build AI models for its humanoids; OpenAI's models gave Figure 01 and Figure 02 spoken conversation and language reasoning. Figure ended the agreement in February 2025 to build its own models (Helix). OpenAI earlier did robot-hand research (Dactyl, about 2018-2019) and in 2026 was reported to be rebuilding a robotics hardware team; no OpenAI robot model has been released publicly.
