A robot so real people thought it was human until they cut it open live on stage. What’s really happening inside this and how China’s “physical AI” is that smooth?
What are on FIRE 🔥
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SNYK
November 20, at 11am ET, join Sonya Moisset Snyk Staff Developer Advocate to have a conversation on Securing Vibe Coding: Addressing the Security Challenges of AI-Generated Code. She'll examine the rise of AI code, its unique risks, and share developer-friendly practices for effective security.
AI INSIGHTS
Chinese EV giant Xpeng unveiled IRON, a humanoid robot so fluid, so lifelike, people assumed there was a human performer inside.
To shut down the rumors, the team pulled off a live cut-open demo revealing wiring, actuators, and chips, proving this was all machine! So… how real is IRON?
82 degrees of freedom, with 22 in each hand for fine motor control
Flexible spine, bionic joints, synthetic muscles
Covered in warm, full-body synthetic skin
Customizable body types, you can select height, build, even “feel”
It walks, turns, and gestures like a human. When the camera sees something, the body reacts instantly. That’s what makes it look so real.
IRON’s built for stores, showrooms, and commercial spaces, not homes (yet). IRON is part of its “physical AI” stack: robots + self-driving + flying cars.
We visited China recently, mostly curious about the buzz around their tech. We’ve always thought people overhyped it online.
But once we actually went, explored some robotics demos, and did a bit of research, we have to admit, it’s moving way faster than most people in the West realize.

AI CHART
You’ve heard the phrase “many minds are better than one.” And Fortytwo just made that literal, with Swarm Inference, a setup where small models vote, debate, and judge each other to produce answers that outperform top-tier solo LLMs.
→ So it’s peer review. What’s cool is this rushed benchmarks:
GPQA Diamond → 85.90%
MATH-500 → 99.6%
AIME 2024 → 100%
AIME 2025 → 96.66%
LiveCodeBench → 84.4%
That’s +17.21 points better than majority voting on the same models. To the end-user? It feels like one model. But under the hood? It’s AI democracy.
Instead of simple voting, Fortytwo uses a system called Bradley-Terry ranking. It looks at who won each matchup and how strong the wins were. Then it picks the best final answer.
→ It’s like moving from “one genius” to a smart, well-organized team that debates, ranks, and improves together.
