Physical AI flooded weekend headlines: JPM upgrades Unitree rating, Nomura says robot training compute can be reduced 1000x
JPMorgan upgraded Unitree's rating from Underweight to Overweight, raising its 2028 humanoid robot sales forecast from about 41,600 units to 111,600 units, while the 2026 forecast remains at about 14,200 units. Nomura, citing SuperMimic research, said that training a single H100 for three hours outperforms the previous SONIC checkpoint that consumed about 21,000 GPU hours, but this reduction applies only to specific motion control training tasks. On data collection, experts say that wearing a device to collect data for eight hours a day may yield only one to two hours of usable data after filtering.
