Where humanoid robots are actually deployed
Humanoid robots are not sold like cars yet.
Most companies do not publish regional sales data so this chart tracks only what can be verified:
• commercial deployments
• pilots
• field tests
• research installs
• museum installations
• demos
• preorders
• undisclosed regional activity
The clearest pattern:
• North America has the strongest public industrial evidence
➝ Agility Robotics Digit is deployed with GXO and has been tested with Amazon, Toyota Canada and Mercado Libre in Texas
➝ Figure AI worked inside BMW Plant Spartanburg with Figure 02
➝ Apptronik Apollo is tied to Mercedes-Benz, GXO and Jabil pilots
➝ Sanctuary AI tested Phoenix at a Mark’s retail store in Langley, Canada
➝ Boston Dynamics Atlas is moving into Hyundai field testing
• China has the strongest factory push
➝ UBTECH Walker S robots have public evidence inside BYD and Zeekr factory environments
➝ Unitree sells humanoid platforms like G1, R1, H1 and H2, but regional buyer data is not publicly disclosed
➝ Product availability is not the same as confirmed deployment
• Europe is strong in research, testing and public installations
➝ PAL Robotics TALOS is used in university robotics labs
➝ Engineered Arts Ameca appears in museums and AI exhibits
➝ UBTECH Walker S2 has Airbus early testing, but this is still not a scaled industrial rollout
• Middle East activity is mostly exhibition based
➝ Ameca is publicly installed at Dubai’s Museum of the Future
➝ This is a real deployment, but not a factory or logistics deployment
• Latin America remains mostly empty in public humanoid deployment data
➝ Some companies mention future exploration
➝ Confirmed humanoid deployments are still limited
Important distinction:
• A demo is not a deployment
• A preorder is not a delivery
• A pilot is not a commercial rollout
• Online availability is not regional sales data
• A robot appearing in a video does not prove customer use
• No company here publishes audited regional humanoid sales percentages
Humanoid robots are entering real work, but the map is still early.
North America leads public industrial pilots.
China leads visible factory experimentation.
Europe leads research and public installations.
Most regional sales numbers remain undisclosed.
Sources checked: official company releases, customer announcements, university pages, museum pages and credible business media. Agility and GXO confirmed Digit’s multi-year RaaS deployment at the SPANX facility, BMW confirmed Figure 02 testing at Spartanburg and later reported production support, Apptronik announced Jabil and GXO work, Sanctuary AI confirmed the Mark’s retail pilot, PAL Robotics and Waterloo confirmed TALOS at RoboHub, Boston Dynamics confirms Atlas field testing with Hyundai, Unitree lists humanoid products publicly and 1X says NEO US deliveries start in 2026.

and work for hours without constant repair
➤ The hand is not just an end effector
It is where motors
sensors
materials
control software
and real-world uncertainty collide

The Cheapest AI Just Got More Expensive
DeepSeek will officially launch V4 in mid-July with a new "peak-hour" API pricing model.
During peak hours (9am to noon and 2pm to 6pm Beijing time), API prices for both DeepSeek V4 Pro and V4 Flash will double.
What's especially interesting is that this comes just weeks after DeepSeek permanently cut V4-Pro pricing by 75%, making its flagship model dramatically cheaper before introducing demand-based pricing.
For V4 Pro, output tokens rise from 6 yuan to 12 yuan per million during peak hours, roughly $0.85 to $1.70. Input costs double as well.
The lighter V4 Flash, from 2 yuan to 4 yuan per million output tokens.
DeepSeek says the change is designed to improve service stability and allocate compute resources more efficiently as demand continues to surge.
When too many people use the API at once, DeepSeek doesn't have enough GPUs to handle all the requests, charging more during busy hours encourages some users to switch to quieter times - similar to Uber's surge pricing.
DeepSeek is the first major frontier AI lab to introduce surge API pricing. As AI demand continues to rise, other providers like Anthropic, OpenAI and xAI could eventually adopt similar pricing models.

US money supply just hit $23 TRILLION for the first time in history.
M2 jumped $247.8 billion in May alone, the largest monthly increase since May 2021.
YTD, M2 has expanded by nearly $700 billion, the fastest pace in 5 years.
Since 2020, the money supply has grown $8 trillion, a 50% increase in 6 years.
Money market funds just hit $7.7 trillion, up 47% in two and a half years.
Five asset managers, Fidelity, Schwab, JPMorgan, Vanguard, and BlackRock, control 71% of that growth.
The last time M2 expanded this aggressively was 2020-2021, which was followed by the largest bull market in stocks, real estate, and crypto in modern history.
The Fed is still holding rates high and has not cut. More money in the system while rates stay elevated creates a tension.
If rates eventually fall, that $7.7 trillion in money market funds becomes expensive to hold, and some portion of it will move into risk assets.
Whether that drives another major rally or gets absorbed by inflation depends on how the Fed responds over the next 6 to 12 months.

5 robotics-related stocks that actually build the eyes, nerves, brains & muscles:
1️⃣ $SYM — Symbotic
AI-driven warehouse robotics systems already deployed at massive scale. Pure-play automation winner.
2️⃣ $TER — Teradyne
Industrial robotics & cobots leader via Universal Robots. The backbone of factory automation.
3️⃣ $CGNX — Cognex
Machine vision + AI inspection tech. Robots literally can’t “see” or quality-check without this.
4️⃣ $OUST — Ouster
High-performance lidar sensors giving robots depth perception and autonomy in real-world environments.
5️⃣ $VPG — Vishay Precision Group
Precision force, torque, strain & motion sensors, the “nervous system” for accurate robot control.

🎯 $AMD’s new Versal Premium Gen 2 MoP integrates up to 32GB LPDDR5X directly in the package for 288 GB/s bandwidth and 60% less board space. It’s explicitly a response to memory supply constraints.
💡 What if you pair that packaging approach with something like the Gorgon Halo (Ryzen AI Max 400) — which already targets 192 GB unified LPDDR5X for running 200B+ parameter models locally — and you get a powerful path out of the current RAM shortage.

GMKtec EVO-X3 launches July 6.
3rd-Gen Local AI Supercomputing Mini PC. AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU. 4TB stock storage. Native offline Qwen3 235B support. OCuLink eGPU expansion. GMKtec Claw AI Suite.
The new EVO-X3 is getting ready for release. What eGPU would you pair with its new OCuLink (64 Gbps xfer speed)? Adding an RTX-5090 w/32GB of dedicated VRAM could speed up decode.

3 weeks ago JPMorgan called $6,000 gold.
Now it's calling $4,500.
June 9:
→ JPMorgan: gold to $6,000 by year end
July 3:
→ JPMorgan: $4,300 in Q3, $4,500 in Q4
→ Risks skewed to the downside on possible early Fed rate hikes
Reason: demand from key sectors weaker than expected
Spot gold is at $4,174 today, up 1.3% and near its highest since June 23.
The bank still sees 2027 upside from central bank buying, plus silver at $60-65, platinum near $1,950 by end-2027, palladium at $1,350.
