AMD will acquire Fei-Fei Li’s World Labs for $8.2 billion

Automated excerpt

World Labs justified the deal in a statement saying that AI development required “close collaboration across model reseach, systems and compute. ” AMD, in turn, says that understanding frontier workloads like those created at World Labs will shape its chip-making roadmap. The acquisition will see World Labs founder Fei-Fei Li join AMD as executive vice president and chief scientist. While Nvidia already has a suite of open-weight world models like Cosmos, AMD has only offered text- and video-based models to the public.
