Figure shares its internal all-hands publicly: road map "completely changed," team doubled

From the Robots digest for 2026-10-22

What happened: Figure has published its internal all-hands publicly on X (~11:29–11:34 AM ET October 22, relayed by Brett Adcock): "Given our rate of progress, our roadmap has completely changed over the last year, and the team has doubled," framed as aligning everyone on the company's mission going forward.

What's genuinely new: Development of the Figure thread on the record — which has carried the claims-vs-evidence back-and-forth (the whistleblower suit, Forbes pressure on Figure's claims, the Figure 03 endurance test) without an organizational layer. The public all-hands is a first, and the road map change plus doubled team are the company's own claims; the posts name no specific products, customers, or dates in the captured summaries.

Watch: What the "completely changed" road map actually contains; whether the doubled headcount shows in output or named deployments; follow-through on the reported NVIDIA investment talks.
