# World Labs joining AMD

World Labs has signed a definitive agreement to join AMD, bringing the spatial-intelligence company founded in 2024, along with its foundation models and applications, into the chipmaker. The two had worked together since last year on model training and inference optimization on AMD GPUs, which made combining software and hardware, foundation models, and applications a natural fit. Fei-Fei Li will join AMD as Executive Vice President and Chief Scientist, working directly with CEO Lisa Su, while Justin Johnson and Ben Mildenhall continue to lead the World Labs team; the transaction is expected to close by the end of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
