Larry Page, co-founder of Google, has founded Dynatomics, a new company for AI in manufacturing. According to two insiders, Page and a small team of engineers are working on using large language models to create designs for various objects and then have them manufactured in a factory. The stealth company is led by Chris Anderson, who previously served as CTO of Kittyhawk, a Page-backed project to build small electric aircraft. Although Page is still on the board of Google's parent company, Alphabet, he is no longer involved in day-to-day operations.

Figure AI plans to begin testing its humanoid household robots this year, moving up its timeline by two years, according to CEO Brett Adcock. He credits this acceleration to its new AI system called "Helix," which combines visual perception, speech, language understanding, and motor control into a single AI model. Helix allows the robots to handle and manipulate everyday objects without requiring specific programming or training for each item. Figure AI recently ended its collaboration with OpenAI on AI models, and is developing Helix independently on an open source basis.
