Meta and Fourier reportedly built humanoid robot Max in three months

According to a post on X by @XRoboHub, citing The Information, Meta and Fourier reportedly built a humanoid robot called Max in three months. The post says the 1.5-meter, 48 kg prototype runs on NVIDIA's Jetson Thor, and that Meta's VP of robotics product spent nearly two months at Fourier's Shanghai factory. It also says work on Max 2 began in September. Meta says the robot is for internal research and not for sale.

Citing The Information, XRoboHub says the 1.5-meter, 48 kg prototype runs on NVIDIA's Jetson Thor, that Meta's VP of robotics product spent nearly two months at Fourier's Shanghai factory, and that work on Max 2 began in September. Meta says it's for internal research and not for sale, but it shows Big Tech moving...

The report points to large technology companies working with outside partners to build humanoid hardware on a short timeline. For builders and investors following humanoid robots, the reported compute platform and development pace give a concrete reference point. Watch whether Meta confirms the internal-only scope and whether Max 2 progress becomes public.

Hardware and robotics watchers may want to track whether this becomes a product, benchmark, or deployment signal.
