What is AMD getting out of this?
dm8•33m ago
Talent and ability to create next gen of multimodal models.
fzysingularity•9m ago
Mostly just 3d world models though, they're not the same as multimodal models.
A_D_E_P_T•9m ago
They're building quite the stack in experimental and ambitious AI model development.

For e.g., they recently acquired Taalas. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49201970

These things are all bets on the future -- and with the World Labs and Taalas acquisitions, in particular, the bet they're making is that conventional LLM development will plateau or become utterly commodified.

It's also a hedged bet against Nvidia's interest in fullstack robotics. AMD missed the datacenter train, but it's not too late to start building out an edge robotics hardware stack, maybe derived from CDNA.

I haven't heard about them, I was going to comment about how these reaserchers will get bitter lesson'd, but after looking at what they do, their "world models" are actually transformer models.

This means that the conversation has shifted to the point where we can assume that transforms hold emergent world models (already proven for tiny toy worlds). This is good, because it's probably true.

In any case, this looks awesome and I wish them all the best!

Dr Fei Fei Li's book The Worlds I See is a great read about both her life and the history of early AI and her role in it, which is major (Ilya was one of her phd students, along with the Alex of AlexNet) so if you don't already know the history of these systems, it's a great read. Very inspiring stuff. Great read and learned about it here so passing on the good word
