The Humanoid Hub(@TheHumanoidHub):Who deserves the valuation: Figure at $39B or World Labs at $8.2B? AMD is buying World Labs, Fei-Fei Li's spatial-intelligence startup, for $8.2B in all stock. Some context on how wild this is: - World Labs is barely 2 years old (founded 2024) and essentially pre-revenue. It just raised $1B earlier this year. - It's AMD's second-biggest acquisition ever, behind only the ~$50B Xilinx deal. - Fei-Fei Li joins AMD as EVP and Chief Scientist, reporting straight to Lisa Su. The why: AMD is buying into "physical AI", 3D world models for robotics and simulation, to chase Nvidia beyond chips.
