Unitree G1 ships for ~$16-20k
Powered by NVIDIA Jetson + GR00T foundation models
Researchers and companies are already training real-world skills on it The era of “only big tech can afford humanoids” is over.
Who’s building the first useful application?
While everyone debates Optimus and Figure, the Unitree G1 is already running NVIDIA’s GR00T Vision-Language-Action models in the wild.
Loco-manipulation, tabletop tasks, whole-body control — all validated.
The Unitree G1 + NVIDIA stack is quietly becoming the default platform for humanoid research.
Isaac GR00T models, Jetson Thor, Isaac Lab, and full sim-to-real workflows all officially support the G1.
Affordable hardware + world-class AI brain
Watching the first IRON walk off the line by itself hits different. Not just a prototype anymore… the industrial age of humanoids has officially begun.
Today, we launched the world’s first automated production line for advanced general‑purpose humanoid robots, using robots to mass‑produce robots, autonomously.
This was uncharted territory, and we solved it from scratch. The commissioning of our production line means humanoid robots are now ready to scale up and step into the real world.
What touched my heartstrings most was watching our very first advanced general‑purpose humanoid robot complete assembly and walk off the line on its own. To me, this is not just about a smarter tool or a commodity. I hope it gains true generalization ability to take on dangerous, repetitive, or undesirable tasks, and ultimately make life better. Perhaps one day, robots may become our companions, friends, or part of family.
Grateful to every colleague on this momumental mission. And a warm welcome to IRON!
Jensen putting it simply: NVIDIA compute is fungible, durable, and highly rentable.
It’s not a depreciating asset — it’s a productive, revenue-generating one.
Unitree’s new “Superman” robot preview is wild. Standing high jump: 2 meters
Top speed: 12.66 m/s (with only 0.85 m leg length) Both records beat every human on the planet… and the robot has only been in development for just over 3 months.
Unitree Breakthrough: The World’s First Real-Time World Model-Driven Fully Autonomous Humanoid Robot Combat🥊
UnifoLM-X2-1.0 breaks through world-action foundation models' bottlenecks in instant planning, decision-making, and dynamic interactive execution, achieve high dynamics, strong interaction, real-time prediction and planning of the future, achieve fully autonomous combat for humanoid robots. This validates the fundamental feasibility of large-scale deployment of world model-driven humanoid robots.
Microduck looks awesome 🦆
Open-source RL biped under $400 with pre-trained policies + full training support. (Also: Unitree clarified it doesn’t actually use their servos — they just recommended trying them.)
Robots can now predict your next punch in real time and throw hands fully autonomously. World models just entered the ring. 🥊🤖 The future isn’t coming — it’s already sparring.

Instagram creator Amanda McGonigle (@CatsOnACouch ) filed a First Amendment lawsuit against JD Vance after Secret Service blocked her from his Bangor, ME event in May. Her viral satirical cat account started trolling Vance following his ‘childless cat ladies’ remark.
After all the recent drama about projects having broken links to their images, an issue which will increase over time, we thought we'd show you how to find our fully on-chain images, stored directly on Ethereum, and will be around for as long as Ethereum is a thing! 👶🐸
Was awesome to be on TradeTalks sharing more about the future of onchain lending markets, order books, and everything else that's ✨only possible on Solana
