We built them to match or surpass human capability across every dimension that matters. With these hands, NEO crosses a critical threshold. The robot can now do the things humans do with their hands, every day. This is what the industry has been waiting for.” Bernt Børnich, CEO and Founder of 1X ## Discover Bill Nash CFO 1X Technologies #### Welcoming Bill Nash as CFO Bill brings extensive financial leadership experience from some of the most technically ambitious and fast-moving companies in autonomy, aerospace, and life sciences. Tom Sanocki, VP of Engineering at 1X Technologies [...] Our NEO hand is read-write. Developed from the ground up by our world-class engineering team, it runs quasi-direct-drive tendons via the 1X Tendon Drive at low gear ratios of approximately 5:1 to 15:1. All 25 degrees of freedom (22 fully actuated DoF in the fingers and palm, plus 3 at the wrist) are natively force-controlled and fully backdrivable. Push on a finger and it yields — and reports exactly how hard you pushed. Force flows out and information flows back through the same physical path. We call this force transparency, and it’s what turns a push into a measurement.

GPT-4.1 is "free" with a copilot sub, and then the premium models would burn credits against a multiplier. So higher multipliers count more against your monthly quota. GPT5, Sonnet 4, and Gemini Pro 2.5 are all 1x. Opus is 10x, for comparison. Also worth keeping in mind that Copilot has reduced context windows even for the premium models, which has a very real impact on agentic performance. | | | | | | indigodaddy [...] like it's on borrowed time, especially with 3rd party tool support, so I wouldn't be surprised if they impose stricter quotas for the LM API in the future or remove the unlimited limit entirely). | | | | | | indigodaddy 10 months ago | root | parent | next (javascript:void(0)) Great feedback, thank you!
