Yann LeCun launches AMI Labs to build next-gen AI ‘world model’
Renowned AI scientist Yann LeCun has unveiled AMI Labs, a new startup focused on developing a large-scale “world model” for AI. The term refers to an AI model capable of understanding and simulating interactions in the physical world, bridging perception, reasoning, and memory. LeCun, who recently departed Meta, aims to move beyond current generative AI limitations by enabling machines to learn how the world works, not just mimic language. The venture has attracted top AI talent and already secured substantial early investments.
This move signals a potential shift in AI research priorities toward deeper intelligence and real-world understanding.
