AMI Labs, cofounded by Turing Prize winner Yann LeCun, has raised $1.03 billion at a $3.5 billion pre-money valuation. The funding will support the company's effort to develop world models, marking a major commitment to foundational AI research outside of existing tech giants.

World Labs, the AI startup founded by Fei-Fei Li, has raised $1 billion in new funding to develop spatial intelligence—AI systems capable of understanding and operating in three-dimensional physical environments. The capital will fund the development of world models, a class of AI architecture designed to reason about spatial relationships and physical interactions.
