Yann LeCun is raising 500 million euro at a 3 billion euro valuation for his new startup, AMI Labs, as he departs Meta. The venture pivots away from the current generative AI paradigm to focus on world models that learn from spatial and physical data. This shift prioritizes persistent memory and reasoning over text scaling to unlock breakthroughs in robotics and autonomous systems. AMI Labs signals a strategic move to pursue physical intelligence outside of the Silicon Valley bubble.
