1X CEO Bernt Børnich: Neo humanoid platform targeting hard takeoff in 3-10 years via internet-scale video pretraining

1X is building Neo as an open humanoid platform (app/skill store) and betting on cross-embodiment pretraining: making the robot mechanically identical to humans (skin, tendons, hand dynamics) so it can learn from all internet video of humans, unlocking a data flywheel that could achieve 'hard takeoff' — robots building robots, chip fabs, mining — in 3-10 years.

1X Neo hand achieves human-level grip strength (3x competitors) via vertical integration, shipping this year
1X's fully vertically integrated manufacturing (custom motors, tendons, sensors in California) enables human-compliant hand design with 3x force of competitors, unlocking diverse manipulation data for world models; robots will build robots/data centers/chip fabs enabling physical substrate automation.
"this thing is roughly three times uh as high force as the other hands... the hand is roughly the same strength as an average human... we have promised that we are going to ship th…"
