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’s latest update is a paradigm shift in robot learning: NEO now uses a physics-grounded video model (World Model) to turn any voice or text prompt into fully autonomous action, even for completely novel tasks and objects NEO has never seen before. By leveraging internet-scale, video data fine-tuned on real robot experience, NEO can visualize future actions, predict outcomes, and execute them with human-like understanding– all without prior examples. This marks the critical first step in NEO being able to collect data on its own to master new tasks all by itself. About 1X: 1X is a leading U.S. based AI and robotics company, developing NEO–the home robot. 1X’s mission is to create an abundant future through safe, intelligent humanoids.
