• Figure AI introduces Helix 2.5 with zero-shot generalization across 30 homes

  2026-09-17 - Research Publication - Holding task-specific data, architecture, training and evaluation fixed, Index pretraining alone raised zero-shot success from 9% to 56%, and a single fixed checkpoint per task was used across all 30 homes with no adaptation to homes or objects. One base model produced three behaviours - tidying a living room, folding towels and making a bed - spanning locomotion, rigid and deformable manipulation, bimanual coordination and active perception. Figure reports a human-to-humanoid transfer scaling law: across an 8x increase in Index pretraining data, loss fell predictably enough to forecast the largest run's test loss to four decimal places before training, with forecasting error of 0.54% of the variation.
