## Summary

Figure AI released Helix 2.5, which completed three long-horizon full-body behaviors—tidying a living room, folding towels, and making a bed—zero-shot in 30 Bay Area homes where no data had ever been collected, without collecting data or fine-tuning in the evaluation environments.

## Why it matters

The original article provides controlled comparison data on Index pretraining for zero-shot generalization and evaluation details, helping readers understand the actual level of humanoid robot pretraining transfer.
