So you better run for cover when the pup grows up.

Drones.

I think this is like a tale of two cities.

The two cities in this case aren't London and Paris.

They're China slash Shenzhen and the US slash Silicon Valley.

The Chinese are overwhelming the world market with the raw physical capabilities.

They're producing many, many more capable robots than, let me put it this way, if I want to, as a US citizen, if I want to procure a humanoid robot,

I don't really have that many options right now.

I'm still waiting for my 1X NEO.

I was haranguing Bernd at A360 this year.

When do I get my NEO?

This summer.

I'm getting mine this summer.

What did he promise you?

He didn't promise me a date.

We were trying to figure out finer details of his participation in future Olympic events.

Okay.

But I would say China's producing all of these humanoid robots, but the US is producing the strongest VLA, vision, language, action, foundation models, and world models for the moment.

And I think as we've talked in the past about open AI trying to become anthropic faster than anthropic can become open AI.

I think similarly here, China is in a position where it has the raw manufacturing capability to make lots of robots.
