Nscale announces a multi-year agreement to supply Figure, a humanoid robotics startup, with AI cloud computing capacity. Bloomberg and PYMNTS report that the deal is valued at at least $3.5 billion, with PYMNTS adding that it could reach up to $6 billion depending on usage or related terms. Nscale also invests an additional, undisclosed amount in Figure.
The coverage frames the partnership as a way for Figure to access large-scale computing to develop its AI models and support its robots. While both outlets describe the same core terms—Nscale providing computing resources and the large, multi-year commitment—PYMNTS emphasizes the range of potential deal value and the role of the computing capacity in training and running AI models. Bloomberg focuses more on the headline figure of $3.5 billion and the separate, undisclosed investment by Nscale into Figure.
Overall, outlets agree the arrangement is designed to accelerate Figure’s AI and robotics efforts using Nscale’s cloud infrastructure, with Nscale simultaneously taking a financial stake in the startup.
