As the first U.S. company to deliver both humanoid and bionic robots, FF holds a significant first-mover advantage in building a "Device sales - real-world deployment - data collection - Brain model tuning - real-world Brain model updates" data closed loop in the U.S.
The EAI (Embodied AI) Data Factory comprises Centralized and Decentralized components and, powered by FF's proprietary data engine, refines massive real-world raw data into high-value structured action assets directly usable for robot training, establishing a high-margin, asset-light, and recurring-purchase closed-loop data business model.
Going forward, the Data Factory will continue to build capabilities for efficient, large-scale data collection, and structured processing, transforming low-cost raw data from real-world deployments into high-quality training data through advanced post-processing. At the appropriate time, FF also plans to open source select data capabilities to contribute to the advancement of the Physical AI industry.

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ:FFAI) ("Faraday Future," "FF," or the "Company"), a California-based global Embodied AI (EAI) ecosystem company, today announced that its Data Factory Business Unit has signed its first sales order. As a key pillar of FF's "Three-in-One" EAI ecosystem strategy spanning Device, Brain, and Data, the Data Factory's launch closes the EAI ecosystem's data commercialization loop and continues to strengthen the Device-Data-Brain flywheel effect.

Faraday Future EAI Data Factory Signs First Sales Order, Closing the Data Commercialization Loop and Advancing the "Three-in-One" EAI Ecosystem Strategy

The Data Factory consists of two components: Centralized and Decentralized. The planned Centralized Data Factory supplies the foundational training data required for the base version of the EAI Brain, reinforcing the foundation for model iteration. The Decentralized Data Factory uses low-barrier distributed data collection to disrupt the traditional custom-built data collection approach and is tightly integrated with the real-world deployment of EAI Devices, enabling data to continuously flow back from real-world scenarios into the EAI Brain and driving ongoing evolution of model capabilities.

Building on this architecture, the Company is constructing a "Device sales - real-world deployment - decentralized data collection - Brain model tuning - real-world Brain model updates" data closed loop. As the first U.S. company to deliver both humanoid and bionic robots, FF holds a significant first-mover advantage in building this closed loop in the U.S.

On the product and technology side, the Data Factory leverages FF's proprietary data engine (Data OS) to refine internet data and low-cost distributed collection data at scale into high-value structured action assets directly usable for robot training, completing the critical leap from unstructured raw data to structured training data. On the commercial side, the Company is building a high-margin, asset-light, and recurring-purchase closed-loop data business model around data services, standardized data products, and subscription offerings. Beyond supporting the closed loop of the "Three-in-One" EAI ecosystem, data produced by the Data Factory can also be sold externally to generate revenue. Within two months of launching the Data Factory, the Company has completed the initial build-out of the Decentralized Data Factory and concluded the signing of its first order, laying the foundation for scaled expansion ahead.

"The formal establishment of the Data Factory is not just the realization of a key link within our ‘Three-in-One' EAI ecosystem strategy. It also signals that FF is building core infrastructure for the Physical AI era," said Chris Chen, Co-CEO of FF AI-Robotics. "If the EAI Brain is the engine, data is the fuel that powers its continuous evolution. Through the coordination of our Centralized and Decentralized Data Factories, we are turning every real-world Device deployment into the driving force for upgrading Brain capabilities. We look forward to working with global ecosystem partners to build the Data Factory into critical data infrastructure that advances the Physical AI industry."

Looking ahead, alongside scaling its operations and external sales, the Data Factory will develop the capability to convert low-cost real world raw data into high-quality training data through post-processing, further expanding data production scale. At the appropriate time, FF will also open source select data capabilities to contribute to the Physical AI industry. The continued build-out and expansion of the Data Factory will steadily amplify the "Device-Data-Brain" flywheel effect, rapidly converting FF's first delivery first-mover advantage into a sustainably leading position and further solidifying FF's strategic standing as a global leader in the EAI ecosystem.
