Figure introduces Helix 2.5, claims zero-shot whole-body tasks in 30 unseen homes
SUMMARY
Figure released Helix 2.5, a model pretrained from scratch on its Index human-video dataset and adapted to three whole-body behaviours (tidying, towel folding, bed making). Figure reports these were evaluated in 30 Bay Area homes with no data collected there, and that Index pretraining raised zero-shot success from 9% to 56%.

WHY IT MATTERS
EDITORIALA concrete, quantified claim about human-video pretraining transferring to humanoid whole-body behaviour in unseen homes; evaluation is internal and not independently reproduced.
