World Labs is joining AMD. This is a huge moment for World Labs, our team, and for me. I wanted to take a moment to share what this means and why I’m so excited for this next chapter – read more in my Substack linked below. The research and technical breakthroughs we have achieved since our founding in 2024 have given us a clear vision for AI’s potential to solve problems in the spatial and physical world. To accelerate into this future requires scaling our efforts, scaling our reach, and getting closer to the hardware.  We began a deep technical partnership with AMD last year, starting with model training and inference optimization on AMD GPUs. As our teams worked together, we realized it would be a natural fit to bring together our AI ecosystem of software and hardware, foundation models, and applications.  I will join AMD as an Executive Vice President and Chief Scientist, working directly with CEO Dr. Lisa Su, Justin Johnson and Ben Mildenhall to continue leading the World Labs team as it joins AMD to form a world leading frontier research organization. Together, we are committed to building out an end-to-end open AI ecosystem spanning hardware, software, platforms, and widely accessible open models. https://lnkd.in/g8gQ54aj | 211 comments on LinkedIn
