🎙️ EP 354: Figure Crosses 86K Weekly Active Users & Cognition Releases SWE-2 Coding Model

Robotics company Figure announced that its crowdsourced video collection network, Index, has grown to 86,000 weekly active users, ingesting over 30 seconds of real-world human task video per second to train its Helix embodied AI model. Meanwhile, Cognition released SWE-2, delivering near-frontier benchmark results on FrontierCode 1.1 and DeepSWE at 64% lower computational cost than rival models.

We’ll talk about:

• Figure scaling its physical data pipeline with over 16 million uploaded video clips across 108 countries to power zero-shot manipulation in its Helix AI stack.
• Cognition fine-tuning a 2.8T MoE architecture to achieve 50.0% on FrontierCode 1.1 and 92.8% on Terminal-Bench 2.1 at a fraction of frontier token costs.
• Anthropic implementing stricter age checks for Claude access, using automated detection to pause access for suspected underage users pending identity verification.
• Federal agencies transitioning to paid tier consumption for OpenAI services following the conclusion of $1 trial contracts, backed by a 50% government discount.

Keywords: Figure Index robot, AI Helix, Cognition SWE 2, Claude age verification.
