    "excerpt": "By: Xiao Bing On September 28, 2026, Lisa Su, CEO of AMD, and Fei-Fei Li, founder of World Labs, sat together to sign an all-stock acquisition agreement worth 8.2 billion dollars. This is the second largest acquisition in AMD's history, behind that of Xilinx in 2022 for approximately 50 billion dollars. But if one measures what 'each dollar invested' has brought, this transaction might well deserve to be examined from every angle, more so than the Xilinx deal. Because AMD did not buy a product line, nor a software stack, nor even a revenue-generating business entity. World Labs has not disclosed any revenue data to date, and its team numbers fewer than 100 people. The 8.2 billion dollars paid by AMD buys a group of people who are currently defining 'what computing capabilities will be needed for the next generation of AI'.\nWhat is the uniqueness of Fei-Fei Li's position in the field of AI? In 2007, she launched the ImageNet project at Stanford, manually annotating over 14 million images and thereby building the largest visual dataset ever created. In 2012, a team from the University of Toronto crushed all traditional methods in the ImageNet challenge using deep neural networks, directly igniting the fuse of this AI revolution. It can be argued that without ImageNet, the explosion of deep learning would have been delayed by at least three to five years. She then joined Google...",
