1X develops and sells NEO, a general-purpose bipedal humanoid designed for household chores and operation around people. It has opened pre-orders, set a $20,000 price, and planned consumer deliveries.
Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
1X Technologies (founded 2014 as Halodi Robotics in Norway; HQ Palo Alto, parent 1X Holdings Inc) builds tendon-driven humanoids: wheeled EVE for commercial patrol/logistics and bipedal NEO (~30 kg, home-first) at $20,000 or $499/month. Dated acts include Kind Humanoid acquisition (Jan-27-25), NEO Gamma (Feb-21-25), NEO pre-orders (Oct-28-25; company claimed 10,000-unit first-year capacity sold in five days), EQT framework for up to 10,000 NEOs across portfolio companies 2026–2030 (Dec-11-25), and a 58,000 sq ft Hayward, CA factory commencing full-scale production (Apr-30-26) with first customer shipments still planned for 2026. Distinguishing point is home-first soft/tendon design plus in-house Revo motors; open question is conversion of pre-orders and EQT intent into paid fielded units versus remaining teleoperation-heavy.

Scored on the data center cooling unit only, as instructed. On 2026-07-27 LG secured NVIDIA AI Factory validation for its 600 kW Coolant Distribution Unit, passing more than 100 technical evaluation criteria covering cooling performance, reliability and failover, becoming one of a small group globally to clear that verification for this equipment class. The direct-to-chip unit delivers coolant to GPUs and CPUs for a hybrid cooling system, and can pair with LG's Data Centre Cooling Control Manager for predictive control and centralised monitoring. LG validates the whole chain at a dedicated Chip-to-Chiller site in Pyeongtaek. Commercial substance: LG has secured cooling projects for hyperscale facilities in North America and for the SM+ Data Center, an AI-ready facility in Jakarta, and intends to seek NVIDIA certification for 1 MW, 2.5 MW and 4 MW capacities. It also joined SK Enmove, GRC and Flex on liquid immersion cooling in October 2025, putting it on both the direct-to-chip and immersion sides. Commercial scores 2 because no data center cooling revenue is disclosed and the scoped row excludes group revenue.
