Yann LeCun is launching Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI) Labs following his departure from Meta, seeking 500 million euros in funding at a 3 billion euro valuation. 🚀 AMI Labs prioritizes world models that focus on reasoning and physical simulation over the linguistic prediction used in current LLMs. This transition addresses fundamental hallucination and logic gaps that have limited AI in high-stakes sectors like healthcare. Through a strategic partnership with Nabla, the startup will first deploy these models for autonomous clinical decision-making. We are witnessing an industry pivot from text mimicry to reality understanding. 🌐
