KI: AMD kauft World Labs für rund acht Milliarden Dollar
Der Chiphersteller expandiert mit dem Kauf eines Teams aus führenden KI-Forschern und deren Modellen. AMD nimmt damit auch künftige Hardware-Projekte in den Blick.
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has announced that it is acquiring the AI startup "World Labs," founded by AI pioneer and researcher Fei-Fei Li, for approximately eight billion U.S. dollars. The deal, finalized on Monday after the US stock market closed, allows AMD to acquire a team of leading researchers and their models, as well as insights into the development of artificial intelligence.
This acquisition is expected to aid AMD in planning its future hardware products. "The better you understand the entire system, the better the system you can build," AMD CEO Lisa Su stated in an interview with Bloomberg TV, as reported by Bloomberg news agency. "That's why we are acquiring World Labs. We want to secure access to the first-class talent that Fei-Fei has brought together and connect it with AMD's expertise in hardware, software, and systems."
World Labs develops so-called world models ("World Models") - AI software that can enable applications in the physical world. These models generate and reconstruct three-dimensional environments, which could potentially help in the development of robots, scientific research, and factory lines.
