Multi-Billion Dollar Agreement Between Nscale and Figure in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics
While Google is adding voice and chat-based artificial intelligence features to Workspace applications using Gemini audio models, Nscale has signed a massive cloud and chip agreement with robotics firm Figure.
Two major developments took place in the field of artificial intelligence in the technology world; Google announced new voice AI capabilities for Workspace applications, while AI cloud company Nscale announced it has reached a multibillion-dollar agreement with robotics developer Figure.
Google Workspace Innovations
Google has announced the rollout of new voice and chat-based artificial intelligence capabilities for popular Workspace products such as Gmail, Google Docs, and Google Keep. These new features allow users to manage their work faster and more easily using their voices.
Integration of Gemini Models
The newly introduced voice and chat features are powered directly by the Gemini audio models infrastructure. This enables users to perform chat-based searches in their inboxes and collaborate on documents in real time.
Subscription Plans and the Business World
These developed innovations have initially been made available to certain Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers. The company stated that these advanced AI tools will also be made available to enterprise business customers in the near future.
Nscale and Figure Agreement
AI cloud company Nscale has signed a massive multi-year agreement with humanoid robot developer Figure. The total value of the agreement is stated to range between at least $3.5 billion and $6 billion.
Shareholding and Computing Support
Within the scope of this strategic partnership, Nscale is preparing to become a shareholder of Figure and is positioned as the firm's number one preferred compute provider.
Chip Deployment Plan in Texas
The partnership aims to support Figure's next-generation Helix models and physical humanoid systems. Initial GPU deployments are planned to begin in the second half of next year in Barstow, Texas, with up to 100,000 Nvidia chips.
