Nscale and Figure signed a multi-year compute partnership on September 3, 2026, with an initial $3.5 billion commitment that the AI cloud firm said it intends to scale past $6 billion. The deal targets deployment of up to 100,000 Nvidia Vera Rubin GPUs starting in the second half of 2027 at Nscale's Barstow, Texas site, and makes Nscale a Figure shareholder and preferred compute provider for the next generation of Helix models. Figure CEO Brett Adcock said data and compute remain the main constraints on bringing humanoid robots to scale.
