Faraday Future is pushing deeper into robotics and embodied AI, outlining an ambitious plan to build what it calls the first developer platform designed specifically for AI-native systems.
In Faraday Future’s latest weekly update, Founder and Co-CEO YT Jia said the company has officially launched its EAI Brain and Developer Platform following a developer ecosystem forum in the San Francisco Bay Area. The platform is designed to simplify robotics development to the level of mobile app creation. Faraday Future is positioning it as an open system where developers of all skill levels can build and deploy “agent skills” for robots operating in the physical world.
At the core of the platform are six development tools aimed at a wide range of users. These include a block-based programming system for younger developers, tools for creating robotic actions through teleoperation and video imitation, and language-based systems for shaping a robot’s personality and conversational abilities. A “Skill Book” feature allows developers to generate capabilities using natural language, while EAI Studio provides an end-to-end environment for training and deploying models. An SDK and API layer supports more advanced engineering work.
Supporting these tools are four infrastructure systems focused on scalability and real-world deployment. These include a unified interface for capabilities, a sim-to-real environment for training robots in virtual settings before deployment, a closed-loop data engine, and an agile development pipeline. Together, the company says these systems will significantly lower the barrier to building functional robotics applications from scratch.
Faraday Future is targeting three distinct groups for its developer ecosystem: students aged 6 to 18, general developers and creators, and professional engineers and research teams. Each group will be segmented by skill level, with the company aiming to create a structured pathway from beginner to advanced developer.
The company is also betting heavily on education as a growth driver. It announced a strategic partnership with Boston International Business School to launch a joint AI and robotics institute. The institute is expected to be formally introduced in early May during the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders’ Meeting at the University of Nebraska. The program will focus on training students, professionals, and entrepreneurs in AI and robotics, marking a step toward expanding Faraday Future’s education footprint across the United States.
Beyond infrastructure and education, Faraday Future is also introducing financial incentives to attract developers. The platform will include revenue-sharing models, early-stage funding opportunities, and rewards tied to open-source contributions and hackathon participation.
Jia framed the effort as a broader shift in how software and robotics ecosystems are built. Instead of focusing on standalone applications, the company is aiming to create a modular “skills economy” where developers can build reusable components that work across different robotic systems.
The update also included a more personal note, with Jia sharing that his children have begun using the company’s humanoid and robotic dog platforms as part of their early exposure to development. He suggested that younger generations may ultimately play a key role in determining how robots integrate into everyday life.
