导读
芯片厂商AMD将收购世界模型公司World Labs，交易金额82亿美元，预计今年年底前完成，尚待监管批准。World Labs由计算机视觉学者李飞飞与Justin Johnson、Christoph Lassner、Ben Mildenhall于2024年创办，融资2.3亿美元，其中部分来自AMD，公司主攻对物理世界做预测性模拟的世界模型。
推荐理由
82亿美元的交易把世界模型团队收进芯片厂商，可对照英伟达的生态布局看算力与模型的绑定方式。

Chipmaker AMD and world models company World Labs announced that AMD will acquire the AI company by the end of the year, pending regulatory approval. The transaction is valued at $8.2 billion.
In 2024, computer vision scientist Fei-Fei Li founded World Labs with fellow researchers Justin Johnson, Christoph Lassner, and Ben Mildenhall with $230 million in funding, some of which came from AMD.
The company began working on new world models, which are AI models that aim to provide a useful, predictive simulation of the physical world. Competing architectures exist (earlier this year, Ars interviewed World Labs co-founder Ben Mildenhall and others in the field about exactly that), but many involve training a model on vast amounts of video data.
