Fei-Fei Li's World Labs raised $1.2B and unveiled Atlas, a world model that generates, reconstructs, and simulates 3D environments from text, image, or video. It produces up to 1 minute of 1440p video from a single image with pixel-perfect camera control and reconstructs real scenes with 3D geometric consistency. The real target is robotics: scan a physical space with a smartphone and rebuild it as a simulation robots can navigate and interact with.
