CEO Brett Adcock says the real advantage isn’t the AI it’s that hardware, models, and manufacturing all sit under one roof, one campus, no outsourcing. Robots already deployed at BMW. Production line running. The question nobody’s asking loud enough: when the entire stack brain, body, and factory belongs to one company, how fast can this actually scale once the failure rate drops? | ||

PaXini will deploy production-focused robots inside BYD factories and use line data to train embodied AI. Financial terms and deployment timelines not disclosed. PaXini claimed Tora-One at Geely Qiantang ran eight continuous hours without a fault and 99.8% task success — figures not independently verified. March round: >1 billion yuan (~$148M) at valuation >10 billion yuan (~$1.48B). Bloomberg June: PaXini considering HK IPO. Forbes July cited: combined BYD humanoid fleet around 200 machines (UBTech Walker S1, Unitree logistics/inspection, in-house).
