Editorial summaries

Clone Protoclone

Clone Robotics is accepting reservations for the Clone Alpha, a limited first edition of 279 units, through its own website. No purchase price has been published. The reservation availability is verified from the maker's page; the price is not disclosed.

Fourier GR-2

Fourier's GR-2 (from Fourier Intelligence, Shanghai) is a second-generation bipedal research humanoid (GRx generation 2, 2024). DEPLOY records it at research maturity with no verified deployments: it is a development and demonstration platform, not a commercial-deployment-at-scale product. As a research platform it has no consumer price. Cap-flag: most Chinese-humanoid commercial-deployment framing in this cohort, GR-2 included, is aspirational demonstration; the verification posture is demonstration, not verified autonomous deployment.
