AMD just acquired Fei-Fei Li's World Labs today. Here's what you need to know. AMD entered a definitive agreement to buy World Labs, the AI research lab founded by computer vision pioneer Fei-Fei Li in 2024. The deal is an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $8.2 billion, announced Monday, September 28, 2026. World Labs builds spatial intelligence AI, world models that generate and simulate interactive 3D environments for robotics and physical AI. AMD had previously invested in the company before this full acquisition. Fei-Fei Li joins AMD as Executive Vice President and Chief Scientist, reporting directly to CEO Lisa Su. Co-founders Justin Johnson and Ben Mildenhall stay on to keep leading the World Labs team inside AMD. Key numbers: - $8.2 billion, all-stock deal - World Labs founded in 2024 - AMD's second largest acquisition ever, after its roughly $50 billion Xilinx purchase Lisa Su says the deal combines World Labs' AI and world model expertise with AMD's compute leadership to strengthen AMD's hardware roadmap and the open AI ecosystem.
