AMD waxay ku biirinaysaa World Labs, oo ah shirkad AI ah, iyadoo ku biiraysa tartanka ka dhexeeya Nvidia
Shirkadda AMD ayaa sheegtay inay ku biirin doonto shirkadda World Labs, oo ahayd mid ka mid ah shirkadaha ugu horreeyay ee sameeya nidaamyada AI-ka ah ee adduunka, iyadoo qiimaha guud ee ganacsiga uu gaarayo $8.2 bilion, taasoo ku dhacaysa dhammaadka sanadka 2026.
Taariikhda World Labs iyo Shaqaalaha
Shirkadda World Labs ayaa la aasaasay sanadkii 2024, iyadoo Fei-Fei Li, oo ah xirfadlayaasha caalamiga ah ee aragti-bixinta, iyo saddex kale oo macallimiin ah, ay ku bixiyeen $230 milyan, iyadoo qeyb ka mid ah lacagtaas ay ka yimaadeen AMD.
Shirkaddu waxay ku bilowday inay sameyso nidaamyada adduunka, oo ah kuwa AI-ka ah ee ujeedadoodu tahay inay sameeyaan macallin ka dhigto adduunka, iyadoo Marble ahayd qalabkii ugu horreeyay ee dadku u isticmaali karaan.
Qalabka iyo Isticmaalka
Marble waxay samayn kartaa meelo 3D oo yar, iyadoo isticmaasho Gaussian splats, taasoo ka dhigaysa mid aad u fudud in la isticmaalo filimada, ciyaaraha, iyo barnaamijyada kale.
Shirkaddu waxay sidoo kale soo saartay qalab kale oo kala duwan, sida Atlas, iyadoo qeyb ka mid ah lacagaha ay ku bixisay inay u isticmaasho samaynta macluumaadka saxda ah ee loo isticmaalo macallinta robot-yada.
Tartanka ka dhexeeya AMD iyo Nvidia
AMD waxay horey u sameysay nidaamyadeeda AI-ka ah, sida Micro-World, laakiin ma sameysan nidaam ka dhigto mid ka dhigto midka Nvidia, oo leh Cosmos iyo kuwa kale.
AMD waxay ku biiraysaa World Labs si ay u kordhiso awooddeeda, iyadoo ku biiraysa tartanka ka dhexeeya shirkadda Nvidia, oo ah mid ka mid ah shirkadaha ugu waaweyn ee adduunka.
AMD has announced plans to acquire AI startup World Labs by the end of 2026, pending regulatory approval, in a transaction valued at $8.2 billion. The move signals a major escalation in the competition between chipmakers for control of next-generation artificial intelligence technologies.
The Acquisition and Its Scale
AMD will acquire World Labs by the end of 2026, pending regulatory approval, in a deal valued at $8.2 billion. The company was founded in 2024 by computer vision scientist Fei-Fei Li alongside researchers Justin Johnson, Christoph Lassner, and Ben Mildenhall, with $230 million in initial funding, some of which came from AMD itself.
The acquisition represents one of the largest technology deals of the year and underscores AMD's ambition to close the gap with Nvidia in the rapidly evolving AI landscape. World Labs has emerged as a key player in developing world models, which aim to create predictive simulations of the physical world.
World Models and Key Technologies
World models are AI models that aim to provide a useful, predictive simulation of the physical world. World Labs' first publicly usable tool, Marble, can generate small 3D spaces using Gaussian splats, which can then be exported as 3D assets for use in film production, game development, and other applications.
The company has since introduced additional models and tools with different emphasis or use cases, such as Atlas. Generating synthetic data for training robots is a use case that has justified enormous investment in the world models space, a field where Nvidia has a strong lead.
AMD's Existing AI Efforts and the Strategic Gap
AMD has produced its own AI models before, including Micro-World, an open-source world model. However, AMD has not produced a stack that competes with Nvidia's Cosmos and related models and applications, leaving a significant gap in its AI portfolio.
The acquisition of World Labs is designed to fill this gap and position AMD as a more formidable competitor in the AI chip and software ecosystem. The deal reflects a broader industry trend where chipmakers are increasingly investing in AI software and models to complement their hardware offerings.
