World Labs

World Labs is a frontier AI research and product company focused on spatial intelligence. It builds world models that can perceive, generate, reason, and interact with virtual and physical worlds. Its first product, Marble, generates spatially consistent, high-fidelity, persistent 3D worlds from multimodal inputs such as text, images, videos, 360 panoramas, and 3D layouts, with interactive editing and export options. The company was founded by AI pioneer Fei-Fei Li alongside Justin Johnson, Ben Mildenhall, and Christoph Lassner, and is supported by a group of investors including a16z, Adobe, AMD, Autodesk, Cisco, Databricks, Intel, Nvidia, Salesforce, Samsung, and Temasek.

World Labs is developing a so-called world model used to simulate 3D environments. Li will become AMD's chief scientist and an executive vice president, and AMD plans to keep World Labs separate from its chipmaking business until the transaction closes later this year.
