Against the record
NEO, from 1X Technologies, is at stage 2 of 5 on our ladder: pre-orders. Orders or deposits taken; not delivered. The latest milestone on its record is from 13 May 2026: In May 2026, 1X still planned to deliver NEO to its first private buyers in the US by the end of 2026. The first robots were working in 1X's own factory.

From the video's description
The 1X World Model is a data-driven simulator for humanoid robots, built with a grounded understanding of physics. It allows us to predict—or “hallucinate”—the outcomes of NEO’s actions before they’re taken in the real world. Using the 1X World Model, we can instantly assess the performance of AI models—compressing development time and providing a clear benchmark for continuous improvement.
