Fei-Fei Li

“Author of "Stanford CS231n This Year: Adds Video, 3D Vision, and Robot Learning" in Stanford University”

“Referenced by swyx for her essay on spatial intelligence and world models, arguing LLMs lack lived experience despite having comprehensive knowledge.”

“Fei-Fei Li, known as AI's 'godmother' and creator of ImageNet, launched Atlas, a model generating video and reconstructing 3D scenes.”

“Stanford Professor who in 2017 piloted a program allowing users to connect phones to remote controls for teleoperated robot arm control, marking the first generation of robot data collection techniques.”

“Co-authored Halcyon paper on text-to-image generation.”

“Founder of World Labs AI startup being acquired by AMD for $8.2 billion.”

“Founded World Labs and is joining AMD as Chief Scientist and Executive Vice President after AMD's $8.2B acquisition of World Labs.”

“AI pioneer and computer vision expert; founded World Labs for spatial intelligence models; joined AMD as EVP and Chief Scientist in $8.2B acquisition.”

“Founder of World Labs, a competitor to Emulate in world models, with a $1.23 billion raise and $5 billion valuation.”

“Founder of World Labs developing Atlas, a foundational world model for 3D scene reconstruction and novel-view prediction.”

“Converging on world models as next major AI paradigm from Stanford, approaching from different direction than LeCun and Hassabis.”

“Early backer of Generalist and prominent AI researcher.”

“Fei-Fei Li provided early backing to Generalist as part of the startup's investor syndicate.”

“World Labs CEO and respected AI researcher who spoke at Ai4 conference advocating for keeping AI open to prevent major companies from controlling the pace of progress.”

“AI researcher who provided angel investment to Etched, a startup building AI chip inference clusters.”

“CTO and President of International Business at Alibaba Cloud, unveiled launch of Alibaba Cloud's France region with agentic AI services.”

“Author of essay on world models and spatial intelligence; leads World Labs team working on Marble, a multimodal 3D environment generator.”

“Leading World Labs with $1B funding to develop models understanding physical world for robotics and embodied AI.”

“Li co-authored the MIRAGE study on visual-language reasoning and multimodal AI evaluation.”

“Founder of World Labs, developing Marble as a Large World Model for reconstructing and simulating persistent 3D environments for physical AI.”

“Founded World Labs and raised $1 billion for building World Models; known as the 'Godmother of AI' and creator of ImageNet.”

“Founded World Labs, which developed Marble, a large world model focused on spatial intelligence and 3D environment simulation.”

“Founded World Labs which raised $1B and is focused on spatial intelligence and 3D world models.”

“Founder of World Labs, competing with Runway in developing world models for AI systems.”

Spatial intelligence—the ability to understand and create real and virtual worlds—is AI's next frontier beyond language models, with transformative potential for robotics, creativity, scientific discovery, and embodied intelligence.

“Cofounded World Labs to build world models that will unlock spatial intelligence, after spending years building ImageNet and combining computer vision with robotic learning at Stanford.”
