On 28 September 2026, AMD announced a definitive agreement to acquire World Labs, the artificial intelligence lab co-founded and led by researcher Fei-Fei Li. The all-stock transaction is valued at approximately $8.2 billion and is expected to close by the end of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals.
Based in San Francisco, World Labs develops models that generate and simulate interactive 3D environments from text, images or video. Its first product, Marble, targets entertainment as well as robot training. AMD intends to draw on this work to guide the design of its hardware and software. Fei-Fei Li will become AMD’s executive vice president and chief scientist, reporting to Lisa Su.
