AI Experts on Yann LeCun AMI Labs World Model Startup - Sifted

A leaked pitch deck has shed more light on former Meta chief AI scientist Yann LeCun's new startup. LeCun's venture, AMI Labs, is betting on so-called “world models”: AI systems designed to understand and reason about the physical world, rather than just generate text. According to a deck [url=https://email.sifted.eu/e3t/Ctc/LZ+113/d2mfCN04/VW_nRt4yTl7BW4B--_55nVNk4W8SvcRS5JgvgdN3wqV7M3qgz0W7Y8-PT6lZ3nXW27-p_Y6Wlz-1W3LMyZv6ZH7KHW3sHr1J1NnldqW8vbYKm2Y9ldkN3yPKf-Z35S-W5TpvGT6Q09dHW6j-PGl5-PzhSW2wbyDt5D1kBVW8gY_NS8YBLxtW3d75Qf3px46yW69-MhR56pl8qW1kZwQQ51KYwQVLglDG2_mVlRW3PgPHT939Gx1W1dLxxw8L8WyLW4pRSnQ38dd91W25Ms_T2St2_CW5qbnDB15KLP5W8jmGPn3_sf31N21zl3GzZrZzW1kcsRs650ZqsVk__fw2VvzTXW6NpCP_2kDDD7VrpbF-454cD9W2ppGF83H4926W279QCg81x5PRf9bBG6M04]seen by Sifted,[/url] AMI wants to build what it calls “the first foundational world model for business”, targeting applications from AI-powered wearables to robotics and manufacturing tools. The company, which launched late last year after LeCun left Meta, is reportedly raising €500m at a €3bn valuation; it’s already been poaching talent from Meta and Google DeepMind, as Sifted reported on Monday. AMI plans to run research out of Paris, with hubs in Singapore, Montreal and New York, while partnering with other companies to gather real-world video data to train its flagship model, “AMI Video”. LeCun is betting the house that world models will be able to take AI to the next level, ditching large language models (LLMs) in the process. As a world-leading expert in the field, he may have a point. What do you think?
