Fei-Fei Li

“Fei-Fei Li's 3D world models company, acquired by AMD for $8.2B in stock two and a half years after founding.”

“Cranked through ImageNet. Kicked off the whole damn thing”

“AMD is paying more than $8 billion to acquire Fei-Fei Li's World Labs, and Li will join the chipmaker as chief scientist.”

“AMD agreed to acquire World Labs, a developer of AI world models founded by Fei-Fei Li, in an $8.2 billion deal.”

“Now that we have tangible proof of the possibilities, we want to do everything we can to accelerate the future... To do this requires scaling our efforts, widening our reach, and getting closer to the hardware.”

“AMD is acquiring World Labs, one of the leading developers of deep learning models intended to understand physical reality, in an $8.2 billion deal.”

“Fei-Fei Li joining AMD as EVP and chief scientist after the $8.2B acquisition”

“Li will join the chipmaker as chief scientist.”

“This is an elegant model that combines or unifies the problem of reconstruction and generation by anchoring on viewpoints and the viewpoint estimation”

“there's the classic example, I think, from Ilya, where... the final sentence of the mystery novel is, like, and the killer was, predict the next token”

“Nature gave animals eyes... But nature didn't give trees eyes. Why? Because when you move, you see a new viewpoint”

“Fei-Fei Li showed off Atlas, a world model for spacial intelligence that generates images and video and then reconstructs them in 3D.”

“Angels including Jeff Dean and Fei-Fei Li participated in the Trajectory round”

“Trajectory raised a $40M Series A, Sequoia-led with Bessemer and Radical Ventures. Angels include Jeff Dean and Fei-Fei Li.”

“"WorldLab is a two year old startup. I think we should just recognize it's a frontier model lab. We are building the next frontier of AI, which is what we call spatial intelligence. And spatial intelligence is about creating AI that has the ability to generate, understand, reason with, and interact with spaces, whether it's physical or virtual."”

“Fei-Fei Li brought many students who have also devoted themselves to robotics research — like Zhuoyu and Jim Fan, both Fei-Fei's students — they're leading NVIDIA's Gear Lab, overseeing how to do robotics at NVIDIA.”

“It is something that Elon's working on, Fei-Fei Li is working on in these kind of real world models and trying to understand things from more first principles.”

“Radical Ventures led, joined by 8VC, USV, Hanabi, Fei-Fei Li, Eric Yuan, and Xiaomi's Bin Lin.”

“Generalist, an SF-based robotics startup, raised $400m at a $2b post-money valuation. Radical Ventures led, joined by 8VC, USV, Hanabi, Fei-Fei Li, Eric Yuan, and Xiaomi's Bin Lin.”

“Among the hot startups in this area are Fei-Fei Li's World Labs and Yann LeCun's AMI Labs.”

“Among the hot startups in this area are Fei-Fei Li's World Labs...”

“Bessemer Venture Partners, Radical VC, BoxGroup, Jeff Dean, and Fei-Fei Li also anteing up”

“The deal was led by Conviction, with Bessemer Venture Partners, Radical VC, BoxGroup, Jeff Dean, and Fei-Fei Li also anteing up”

“Obviously she's a brilliant roboticist. And I'd love to learn more about what she's doing.”

“Reading Fei-Fei's book just reminded me of that [gratitude for mentors]. And I remember after I read it, I pinged some of them and thanked them.”

“Robotics is going to be one of the most important revolution in human industrialization. Six billion dollars is too small. If you look at self-driving cars investment, if you look at language models investment, it took way more than $6 billion.”

“Safety measures are happening, but there needs to be more in the right way, in a scientifically grounded way. And that's the conversation that should be taking place instead of what you say, the theater.”

“World Labs is built on the thesis that language models represent only one dimension of intelligence, and that spatial intelligence — the ability to reason, understand, move, and interact in 3D space — is the next major frontier.”

“I don't understand that sentence, a data center full of Einsteins. I just don't understand that.”
