Faraday Future Strategically Launches Its Embodied AI Developer Platform Purpose-Built for AI Natives, Marking 2026 as the Inaugural Year of EAI Robotics Education

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 27, 2026--

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 it hosted the EAI Developer Ecosystem Forum and the strategic launch of the FF EAI Brain & Open Developer Platform in San Francisco on April 25. With this launch, FF unveils the Company’s EAI developer platform purpose-built for AI natives, marking 2026 as the inaugural year of EAI robotics education and officially opens recruitment for co-builders of its global developer ecosystem.

The forum culminated in a live capability showcase featuring FF Futurist, the Company’s full-size professional EAI humanoid robot, demonstrating nine end-to-end Agent Skills across Home Assistant, Commercial Security, Pet Companion, and Hospitality and Reception scenarios. FF also previewed home security integration combining FX Aegis, FF’s professional EAI quadruped robot, with smart home automation. Recruitment for the first batch of 1.0 co-creation partners is now open at: https://www.ff.com/us/developer/apply/

The FF EAI Brain & Open Developer Platform features six developer tools (Brain Blocks, Create Studio, EAI Soul, EAI Scribe, EAI Studio, and an SDK and API) and four core infrastructure layers (a unified developer portal, a Sim-to-Real evolution field, a data closed-loop engine, and an agile development and release toolchain). Together, they make robot development as accessible as software development, lowering the barrier for everyone from K‑12 students to professional engineers to build executable robot capabilities known as Agent Skills.

The platform officially opens recruitment across three categories of developers: Young Futurist for K‑12 students aged 6 to 18, EAI Futurist for scenario experts and creators, and EAI Builder for professional engineers, research teams, and OEM partners. Each category follows a four-tier progression path from Beginner to Leader. A comprehensive developer incentive program covering revenue sharing, grants, hackathons, the Campus Program, a tier-based seniority system, and global community exposure ensures that every contributor truly benefits from the ecosystem they help build.

The forum drew leaders from across the embodied AI ecosystem, including Yong Wang, CEO of StarBot Robotics; Ling Zong, Ph.D., President of the Silicon Valley Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (USA); Christine Chen, Professor at California Science and Technology University (CSTU); Heidi Yu, CEO of SocialBook; Lei Zarboulas, Founder of RedOlive Investors; Teddy Fang, CEO of NS Federation; and Edward Qu, CEO of Vigiles Robotics. The event closed with a panel discussion titled “The Robotics Education Revolution: How Embodied AI Is Raising the Next Generation of Builders.”

“The launch of the FF EAI Brain & Open Developer Platform is more than a product release. It is the opening of a new ecosystem where everyone, from K‑12 students to professional engineers, can build the capabilities that will define the embodied AI era,” said Chris Chen, Co-CEO of FF AI-Robotics. “By marking 2026 as the inaugural year of EAI robotics education, we are not only lowering the barrier to robot development. We are inviting the next generation of AI natives to co-create the future with us and ensuring that every developer who joins us truly benefits from the ecosystem they help build.”

Looking ahead, the FF EAI Brain & Open Developer Platform will serve as the foundational infrastructure for FF’s broader EAI ecosystem, connecting devices, data, and intelligence at scale. By cultivating a global community of AI-native developers and deepening partnerships across education, research, and industry, FF aims to accelerate the real-world deployment of EAI robots and reinforce its long-term positioning as a leader of the global Embodied AI ecosystem.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) — Iceland's voters rejected a proposal to restart negotiations on joining the European Union more than a decade after previous talks ended, the national broadcaster reported Sunday.

The vote will put the long-debated issue to rest more than a decade after a euroskeptic government ended EU talks.

Opponents defeated the measure by a margin of 52.8% to 47.2%, RUV reported. The capital of Reykjavik was the only area in the island nation of 400,000 people where a majority supported the referendum.

The vote Saturday was held in the shadow of U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated threats to control nearby Greenland, which drove some voters to favor the idea of European solidarity. Although Iceland is a NATO member, supporters said they would have greater protection from their neighbors if Trump ever made similar threats toward the volcanic island.

Iceland’s left-leaning coalition government, elected in 2024, moved up the EU referendum it had planned for next year after Trump mistakenly named Iceland four times while speaking about his designs on Greenland.

Prime Minister Kristrún Frostadóttir, who campaigned in support of the measure, said she hoped the result would not divide the nation.

“I don’t feel that there is bitterness,” she told RUV before the final results were tallied. “I know tempers run high for some people, but I have now spent time with a large group of people from all over the country and people are quite open to different outcomes.”

It was a simple yes-or-no question for roughly 265,000 eligible voters: Should Iceland resume accession negotiations with the European Union?

The vote count through the night had the nation on edge as the “Yes” vote took an early lead before eventually swinging in favor of the opposition. By dawn, a margin of only a few hundred votes separated the two camps before the gap grew as more ballots were tallied in areas of the country where opposition was greater.

“This isn't the time to go. Maybe 10, 15, 20 years or more, like, we can take another look,” said Daniel Bjarkason, who voted against the measure. "But for now we’re too divided and that’s not a good look, because it should be 70-30 Yes if we’re going to do it.”

Opponents rallied around fishing and the fact that Iceland already reaps benefits from being in the EU’s frictionless single market and the Schengen free-travel zone without the sovereignty compromises that inevitably come with full membership. They argued that Iceland’s voice would be muted in the large European Parliament and that it would be better off cutting its own trade deals, such as one with China.

Backers said EU membership would lower inflation and interest rates, and the euro would bring more stability than Iceland’s volatile króna. They said it was also in the nation’s interest to get closer to its European neighbors to tackle issues that don’t respect borders, such as climate change.

If the proposal had been approved, it would have been a preliminary step to revive the lengthy negotiating process with the EU’s executive branch, the European Commission, to discuss areas from the economy to human rights. Voters would have needed to approve any negotiated deal.

The influential fishing industry led opposition to the referendum out of fear that the bloc’s common fisheries policy would allow Spanish, Dutch and other trawlers into its valuable waters.

Descendants of Vikings who settled in Iceland have lived off the sea for centuries and the bountiful catches of cod, haddock and capelin are central to its national identity. It won its independence from Denmark in 1944 and has a proud history of refusing to be pushed around by bigger and richer European nations, winning the so-called Cod Wars with Britain in the 1970s over its fishing grounds.

Melley reported from London.
