X Square Beats Figure AI's Benchmark by 45%: China's Humanoid Compression Hits the Leaderboard Again

X Square specifically targeted Figure AI's published benchmark on robotic manipulation tasks - then claimed to have beaten it by 45%. Combined with Wall-B sorting at 70% lower hardware cost, LimX Dynamics matching Figure's capabilities, and Tiangong Omni earning full marks on work tasks, the pattern is structurally clear: Chinese humanoid labs are running a capability-per-dollar compression that mirrors what DeepSeek did to GPT-4.

Sharp's AI Robot That Deliberately Disagrees: What Designing Against Full Compliance Tells Us

Sharp has introduced a new model of its "Pocketomo" conversational AI robot—and the defining design choice is that it won't fully agree with you.
