1X NEO is a preorder/purchasable home humanoid with unusually detailed official specs and production claims: 5'6", 66 lb, 75 total listed DoF, 22 DoF per hand, 18 lb per-arm payload, 4h runtime, Jetson Thor compute, stereo fisheye cameras, $20,000 Early Access ownership, $499/month subscription, and claimed 2026 U.S. deliveries. Stronger 2026 evidence adds factory production and company-run AI/mobility results, but the decisive caveat remains autonomy: official Expert Mode/remote-control disclosures and WSJ/media hands-on reporting mean household chore completion should not be credited as broad autonomous capability
