$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.
