Nscale, a full-stack AI cloud platform, today announced it has signed a multi-year strategic partnership with humanoid robotics company Figure. The deal represents the potential to deploy the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform with up to 100,000 NVIDIA GPUs. The initial GPUs are targeted for deployment starting the second half of 2027 in Barstow, Texas, with an initial commitment of $3.5 billion of compute and the intent to scale to over $6 billion. Nscale will become a Figure shareholder and Figure’s preferred compute provider, powering the next generation of Figure’s Helix models and its humanoid robotics.
As part of the agreement, Nscale is also making a strategic investment in Figure. The partnership reflects a shared approach to vertically integrated AI: Nscale provides the power, compute platform, and orchestration layer while integrating NVIDIA’s advanced AI infrastructure to ensure that Figure’s models – from training to deployment – run with maximum efficiency and performance. As part of the partnership, the parties will also explore the potential to scale Nscale’s supply chain with humanoids.
