GPT-5’s impact and capabilities might be debatable<\/a>, but one of the charts from GPT-5’s presentation has certainly become a meme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Figure CEO Brett Adcock has appeared to roast OpenAI’s Noam Brown with a reference to the “chart crime” bar chart<\/a> from OpenAI’s GPT-5 presentation which had mis-sized bars which made GPT-5’s performance jump look a lot more impressive than it actually was. Figure had earlier unveiled what it described was the world’s first autonomous robot that could fold laundry. “For the first time, a humanoid robot can fold laundry using a neural net. We made no changes to the Helix architecture, only new data,” Adcock wrote on X. “The same Helix architecture that solved logistic tasks was applied directly to laundry folding. There were no modifications to the model or training hyperparameters. The only addition was the dataset,” he added. Adcock showed off a video of Figure’s humanoid robot, albeit gingerly and slowly, folding towels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
