   Altman confirms OpenAI will build its own humanoid robots, targeting a 2027 demo

   Asked on the Sources podcast whether OpenAI would manufacture humanoid robots itself, CEO Sam Altman answered "we will," arguing that humanoid form makes sense because the world is designed for humans. He said appearance matters far less than developing the intelligence — the "brain" — that drives the robot. Altman said he expects a striking demo prototype around 2027, with robots actually on the streets "a few years" later; OpenAI has disclosed no product form, pricing, subscription model or launch date. Reports citing OpenAI's job listings say the company is hiring for motion control, state estimation and actuator control, developing its own mechatronic actuators, and staffing manufacturing and supply chain, with a near-term goal of general robots assisting infrastructure workers and personal robots as a longer-term aim.

   XPeng: smart driving adapts to a new EU country in two weeks, NGP due 2027

   Ahead of the Paris auto show, Liu Xianming, head of XPeng's general intelligence center, told Bloomberg that the company can fine-tune its smart-driving system from one European country to another in about two weeks, using just one ten-thousandth of the data needed to train the underlying AI foundation model, and said XPeng is in close contact with European regulators to keep its plan of launching NGP (navigation guided pilot) in Europe in 2027, stressing it will bring a full-featured version rather than a stripped-down one. During the 2026 Paris auto show, XPeng chairman He Xiaopeng then announced that the company is opening smart-vehicle technology cooperation globally, covering vehicle platform and electrical/electronic architectures, smart driving, AI BOX, chips, batteries and e-motors, plus toolchains such as remote XCP calibration, vehicle EOL and AI diagnostics, alongside physical-AI offerings including humanoid robots, Robotaxi, flying cars, the Turing AI chip and a physical-world foundation model. He said Robotaxi talks with several leading European mobility platforms are underway, and repeated a target of 1 million global annual sales by end-2030, half of it in Europe.
