AMD will acquire Fei-Fei Li’s World Labs for $8.2 billion and name her chief scientist.
AMD agreed to acquire World Labs, Fei-Fei Li’s world-model startup, for $8.2 billion, with closing expected before year-end subject to regulatory approval. Li, a Stanford professor known for ImageNet, will join AMD as executive vice president and chief scientist. World Labs’ Marble product is pitched for entertainment experiences and simulated environments used to train robots. AMD says exposure to these workloads will shape its chip roadmap as it competes with Nvidia, which already offers Cosmos world models.
