  Yann LeCun's new founded company AMI Labs secured $1.03B funding at a $3.5B valuation to develop AI “world models” that learn from real-world data instead of just text. The ambitious project could take years to commercialize but aims to overcome LLM hallucination risks,

  Selling 22% in the seed round seems fine now. But when they go to raise their Series A in 12 months the lead is going to want to have at least 20%, so...

• @stevehou Steve Hou on x

  There seems to be insatiable appetite for AI in the private markets, and not even the certain money making picks-and-shovels kind! Btwn Thinking Machines, SSI, and AMI, AI labs without products casually raise billions. And public markets folks are bearish or skeptical on AI?

  In an era where many frontier labs are converging towards conservative incremental approaches, it's heartening to see resources being directed into ambitious efforts and fresh ideas!

  very bullish 🔥 I do think their world models will be a huge leap forward and it will translate to relevant areas like embodied research makes me super happy they want to open their work too 🥹

• @ziv_ravid Ravid Shwartz Ziv on x

  Of course, I'm super bullish on AMI labs 🔥 They have both Saining, Yann, and Mike on the same team. They are working on world models and want to do open research. Good luck!

  Love seeing this. For years Europe basically had one serious AI champion: Mistral. Now AMI Labs raises a $1B+ seed round to build world-model AI with persistent memory and planning. Europe finally has another heavyweight in the AI race.❤️ [image]
