World Labs is being acquired by AMD, with founder Fei-Fei Li joining as Executive Vice President and Chief Scientist, reporting to CEO Dr. Lisa Su. Li co-founded World Labs in early 2024 with Ben Mildenhall and Justin Johnson to build spatial intelligence foundation models beyond language. The startup released Atlas, an omni model that predicts new camera views from 2D images, which Li says essentially solves sparse reconstruction. AMD was an early investor; a technical partnership on GPU training and inference began last year. World Labs also acquired SceniX for robotics simulation.
