The #FullyConnected26# lineup is elite‼️ From keynote leaders to hands-on lab experts, we just added a fresh wave of operators, researchers, and builders shaping production AI. Hear from experts across @nvidia, @cognition, @worldlabs and more. Lock in early bird pricing while it lasts:

Anthropic IPO details and new model release, OpenAI GPT-6.1 Astra delay, AMD acquires World Labs: • Busy in terms of AI headlines, including details of Anthropic's IPO prospectus (S-1 still not on EDGAR) from Reuters. Highlights included $518B of future cloud and infrastructure commitments and wo customers making up nearly 25% of revenue. Anthropic also released new Claude Sonnet 5.5, which is 30%+ faster than Sonnet 5, scores within a few points of Opus 5.5 on most benchmarks and is significantly cheaper. Anthropic also talked up its cybersecurity capabilities. Elsewhere, OpenAI scrapped planned October release of GPT-6.1 Astra, citing deception and control issues. AMD to acquire Fei-Fei Li's World Labs for $8.2B in stock. Li will serve as AMD's EVP & chief scientist reporting to Lisa Su. World Labs builds spatial/3D for simulation, robotics and physical AI. Reports discussed similar playbook Nvidia used with Hugging Face Deal. $NVDA $AMD #Anthropic# #AI# #OpenAI# #GPT6# #WorldLabs# #IPO# #Tech# #ClaudeSonnet# Gain immediate access to unparalleled insights with #StreetAccount#:

World Labs is pushing AI beyond words and into the physical world. CEO Fei-Fei Li tells @edludlow its new Atlas world model can generate and understand 3D environments, opening up applications across robotics, design, science and more

World Labs co-founder @jcjohnss explains why Theo's “GTA VI last great human-written software” claim gets the future of human creativity wrong: "This is just the evolution of technology in general. Some of the early Disney animation films where they hand-paint every cell, that was already a new type of technology that enabled a new way to make movies and creative experiences at that time." "Some of the early Disney films figured out how to sync audio and video for the first time, and that was a really transformative experience. But new technologies come out, and creative people always find really interesting and innovative ways to enable new experiences." "Moving from live action silent films to animated early Disney films, to computer-generated films, the Pixar era of CG, into AI, I view these as just new creative tools, and there will always be people, creative people behind the wheel that will be interested in creating new experiences." @theworldlabs

World Labs just unveiled Atlas, its new world model for spatial intelligence! Atlas can generate, reconstruct, and simulate 3D worlds from images and video, with precise camera control and videos up to 1 minute at 1440p.

World Labs CEO Dr. Fei-Fei Li: "The world is not made of words." "Language models have given machines an extraordinary command of concepts, vocabulary, and reasoning, but the physical world, virtual or real, runs on a different substrate." "Where language models learn the statistical structure of text, world models learn the statistical structure of space and time: how light falls on a surface, how a garden looks from an angle no camera has captured, how objects respond to force and follow the laws of physics." "Language gave machines a way to talk about that world. World models are how machines will finally come to understand, imagine, reason and interact with it." Full piece:

The AI world just got a new dynamic duo. 🤝 Fei-Fei Li on why AMD is acquiring World Labs: "As our teams worked together, we realized what a natural fit it would be to bring together our AI ecosystem of software and hardware, foundation models and applications."

$AMD TO ACQUIRE WORLD LABS IN $8.2B ALL-STOCK DEAL AMD is buying Fei-Fei Li’s AI research lab World Labs, which builds spatial-intelligence models that generate, reconstruct and simulate interactive 3D environments from text, images and video. The deal brings World Labs’ model research directly inside AMD as it pushes deeper into reasoning, robotics, simulation and physical AI. Fei-Fei Li will join AMD as EVP and Chief Scientist, reporting directly to Lisa Su. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2026.
