AMD to Acquire World Labs to Advance the Future of AI Compute

What happened

28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire World Labs, an AI model and research lab led by AI pioneer Dr. As AI expands into reasoning, robotics, simulation and physical AI, the demands on compute infrastructure become more diverse. AMD is an electrical and semiconductor company based in Sunnyvale.

The acquisition advances AMD’s strategy to deliver AI infrastructure for an open ecosystem. “Building the compute platforms for the next generation of AI requires a deep understanding of how models are evolving,” said Dr.

“Advancing the next generation of AI technology requires close collaboration across model research, systems and compute,” said Dr. Headquartered in San Francisco, World Labs develops spatial-intelligence models that generate, reconstruct and simulate interactive 3D environments from text, image and video inputs, as well as technology for robotic learning and simulation.
