According to public posts from one of their engineers, they're now:

· Scraping 1M+ hours of POV video from the internet · Burning significant GPU hours while models only work for basic tasks · Down to <10 people after laying off ~50% of the team

This raises a broader question:

· Is scraping public video a viable long-term data strategy, or a dead end? · Are there examples of hardware companies that successfully made this pivot?

They originally built Eggie, a multipurpose humanoid robot, but Tangible has since pivoted to building an AI foundation model for robotics.
