Spatial AI model developer focused on world models
World Labs, founded by Fei-Fei Li, develops spatial-intelligence models that generate, reconstruct and simulate interactive 3D environments from text, image and video inputs, plus technology for robotic learning and simulation; its first product, Marble, launched in November 2025. It emerged from stealth in 2024 with $230M at a $1B valuation and raised $1B in February 2026 from investors including Autodesk ($200M), AMD, Nvidia, Fidelity and Emerson Collective (valuation undisclosed; Bloomberg reported talks at about $5B). On 2026-09-28 AMD signed a definitive agreement to acquire it in an all-stock deal valued at about $8.2B, expected to close by the end of 2026 subject to regulatory approvals; Li is to join AMD as EVP and chief scientist.
