Figure AI's humanoid robots — powered by the Helix-02 neural network — just completed a full 8-hour autonomous shift sorting packages in a factory. The company live-streamed the humanoid's sorting tasks which ran for over 14 hours. Multi-robot coordination with automatic swap-outs when batteries run low. Is this hat the future of factory work looks like?

At least a dozen CEOs have accompanied US President Donald Trump to China. Tesla CEO Elon Musk was spotted posing for pictures with Apple CEO Tim Cook at the Chinese state banquet in Beijing. Musk and Cook are part of the delegation of American CEOs who joined President Trump on his trip to China for the historic summit.

Trump's delegation landed in Beijing under a digital lockdown — personal phones left behind, stripped-down devices only, operating under the assumption that anything brought into China could be compromised. Federal guidelines warn against plugging into unknown USB ports, where experts say compromised hardware could potentially extract data or install malicious software — a tactic known as "juice jacking." The precautions extend to the CEO delegation traveling with the president, including Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, Tim Cook, Kelly Ortberg, Cristiano Amon, and Larry Fink.
Inside the Great Hall of the People, Trump and Xi held what the White House described as a "good meeting." The two leaders agreed to frame their relationship as "constructive, strategic and stable" — a new positioning intended to guide ties for the next three years. Xi said China's door to US businesses "will only open wider" and called for expanded cooperation in trade, health, agriculture, and military communication. But he also issued a stark warning on Taiwan: "If handled poorly, the two countries will have clashes and even conflicts, pushing the entire relationship into a very dangerous situation." Markets reacted cautiously — China's yuan hit a three-year high while stocks pulled back, with investors waiting for concrete outcomes. Trump and Xi could meet at least twice more in 2026 — at APEC in Shenzhen and the G20 in Miami.

Chinese President Xi Jinping opened Thursday's summit with Donald Trump at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing with a pointed call for a new era in US-China relations. "We should be partners, not rivals. We should help each other succeed and prosper together," Xi said, urging the two countries to overcome what he called the "Thucydides Trap" — the historical tendency for rising and established powers to end up in conflict. Xi described 2026 as a potential "historic, landmark year" that could open a new chapter in bilateral ties, arguing that the two countries share more common interests than differences. Trump responded by calling the relationship between the US and China "better than ever before" and describing the high-level CEO delegation he brought to Beijing as a gesture of respect toward China and Xi.

President Donald Trump has landed in Beijing for a two-day summit with Xi Jinping, accompanied by one of the largest corporate delegations ever assembled for a US presidential visit. The strategy is deliberate: Trump wants Xi to open China's market to American business — and brought the CEOs most directly affected by US-China tensions to make that case in person. Nvidia's Jensen Huang wants to restart stalled H200 chip sales. Boeing's Kelly Ortberg needs China to unlock a major aircraft order. Apple's Tim Cook is navigating tariffs on products manufactured in China. Blackstone's Stephen Schwarzman has long served as Trump's informal China intermediary. Elon Musk, the world's richest man, joined Air Force One alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The summit agenda covers trade, AI, Taiwan, and the Iran war — but the CEO roster signals that commercial access to China may be the central ask.

US President Donald Trump arrived in Beijing on Wednesday for his first visit to China in nearly a decade, accompanied by a delegation of top CEOs including Elon Musk, Tim Cook, and — added at the last minute — Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Huang was not on the original White House list; Trump called him personally after media coverage highlighted his absence. Reporters spotted Huang boarding Air Force One during a refueling stop in Alaska. The summit with Xi Jinping will cover trade, tariffs, Taiwan, AI, and the Iran war — but Huang's presence adds a sharp technology dimension. Despite Trump announcing approval for H200 chip sales to China in December 2025 — with the formal regulatory framework finalized in January 2026 — not a single chip has been sold. Shipments remain stalled by disagreements on both sides over sales conditions. China once accounted for 13% of Nvidia's total revenue, and Huang has described China's AI chip market as a $50 billion opportunity. His attendance is being read by Chinese industry sources as a potential signal that the long-running impasse could finally move.
