AMD to buy World Labs in $8.2 billion all-stock deal

Original: Advanced Micro Devices announced it will purchase World Labs in an $8.2 billion all-stock deal. Oura said it is delaying

Advanced Micro Devices announced it will acquire World Labs, the AI startup founded by Fei-Fei Li, in an $8.2 billion all-stock deal. In contrast, health-tech maker Oura said it is delaying its planned IPO, citing market uncertainty. The two moves highlight a divergence among venture-backed companies on whether now is the right moment to pursue exits.

Why now: A major AI acquisition announced the same day an IPO is postponed underscores conflicting views on market conditions for startup exits.
