AMD 以超过 80 亿美元的价格收购 AI 公司 World Labs
AMD announced today that it’s acquiring World Labs, an AI research lab co-founded by the prominent researcher Dr. Fei-Fei Li, in an all-stock deal worth approximately $8.2 billion. World Labs launched in 2024 and was valued at $1 billion in a matter of months. The startup launched its first commercial product, a world generation model called Marble that lets users make interactive 3D worlds from a prompt, in 2025.
AMD 今日宣布，将以约 82 亿美元的全股票交易收购 AI 研究实验室 World Labs，该实验室由著名研究员李飞飞（Dr. Fei-Fei Li）博士共同创立。World Labs 于 2024 年成立，并在短短几个月内估值达到 10 亿美元。该初创公司于 2025 年推出了其首款商业产品——名为 Marble 的世界生成模型，允许用户通过提示词创建交互式 3D 世界。
The deal is expected to close by the end of the year. Li will become EVP and chief scientist at AMD, reporting to AMD CEO Lisa Su, while the World Labs team will “continue to focus on advancing AI model research.” AMD also notes that the acquisition will strengthen “its ability to develop AI hardware, software and systems around the needs of emerging models and applications.”
该交易预计将于今年年底完成。李飞飞将出任 AMD 执行副总裁兼首席科学家，直接向 AMD 首席执行官苏姿丰（Lisa Su）汇报，而 World Labs 团队将“继续专注于推进 AI 模型研究”。AMD 还指出，此次收购将加强其“围绕新兴模型和应用需求开发 AI 硬件、软件和系统的能力”。
“Just like I knew it was time to do a startup to jumpstart the work of creating foundation models beyond LLMs and achieve the most impact in AI, it’s again very clear that the right path for myself and World Labs is to continue our mission as a part of AMD,” Li says in a post on her Substack. “Together we’re committed to keep pushing the frontier of AI to solve real problems, and doing so openly with the community and the entire ecosystem.”
“正如我当初意识到是时候创办一家公司，以启动超越大语言模型（LLM）的基础模型创建工作并实现 AI 领域最大影响力一样，现在我也非常清楚，对于我和 World Labs 而言，正确的道路是作为 AMD 的一部分继续我们的使命，”李飞飞在她的 Substack 帖子中写道。“我们将共同致力于不断推动 AI 前沿发展以解决实际问题，并与社区及整个生态系统保持开放合作。”
“Building the compute platforms for the next generation of AI requires a deep understanding of how models are evolving,” Su says in a statement. “Fei-Fei and the World Labs team bring exceptional research leadership and model expertise. Together, we can use that insight to develop the hardware, software and systems that will power the next generation of AI and strengthen the open AI ecosystem.”
“构建下一代 AI 的计算平台需要深入了解模型的发展演变，”苏姿丰在声明中表示。“李飞飞和 World Labs 团队带来了卓越的研究领导力和模型专业知识。通过合作，我们可以利用这些洞察力来开发硬件、软件和系统，从而驱动下一代 AI 并加强开放的 AI 生态系统。”
The World Labs deal is just the latest multi-billion dollar AI-related acquisition as of late, with Nvidia announcing earlier this month that it would be acquiring Hugging Face for nearly $13 billion.
World Labs 的交易只是近期一系列数十亿美元 AI 相关收购案中的最新一例；本月早些时候，英伟达（Nvidia）也宣布将以近 130 亿美元的价格收购 Hugging Face。
