The company focuses on developing so-called world models, artificial intelligence systems capable of reasoning about physical environments rather than only processing text or images.[1][3]
History
World Labs was founded in 2024 by Fei-Fei Li, a professor at Stanford University known for her work in computer vision and the creation of the ImageNet dataset. The startup was created to develop AI systems capable of understanding how objects and environments exist in three-dimensional space.[1][4]
The company launched publicly in September 2024 with about $230 million in venture funding led by Andreessen Horowitz, New Enterprise Associates, and Radical Ventures.[1]
In 2026 World Labs raised an additional $1 billion in funding from investors including AMD, Nvidia, Autodesk, Emerson Collective, and Fidelity Management & Research.[2][5][6]
Technology
World Labs develops AI systems designed to model the physical world through three-dimensional representations. This approach, referred to as spatial intelligence, aims to enable AI to perceive and reason about objects, geometry, and environments.[2]
In 2025 the company introduced Marble, a system that can generate navigable 3D environments from text, images, or video prompts.[7][8]
