Yann LeCun confirms that he's leaving to build a new company. “The goal of the startup is to bring about the next big revolution in AI: systems that understand the physical world, have persistent memory, can reason, and can plan complex action sequences.” https://www.linkedin.com…

You find media coverage about Yann LeCun to be dishonest and unscholarly. And yeah, that's how media coverage works. Yann LeCun seems pretty easygoing and lacking in ego if you've ever actually spoken to him

It's happening 🚀 @ylecun saw breakthroughs before anyone else: deep learning, self-supervised learning, open science, open review, etc Today, he is challenging the dominant LLMs, and rightly so. Can't wait to see his next chapter with World Models ! [image]

He put Paris on the AI map by creating Meta's FAIR Paris lab, Meta's largest AI research center outside the US. He helped build a vibrant AI ecosystem in France, attracting top talent and making Paris a key hub for AI innovation.

wow. Finally Yann Lecun just officially posted on his FB, an hour before, that he's leaving Meta and launching a startup. To continue the Advanced Machine Intelligence research program (AMI). And that he will be “sticking around Meta until the end of the year.” [image]

will they do research? will they build “products” and generate revenue? will there be a 2-tier class/caste-system between researchers vs engineers? paper-writers with intellectual output vs pull-request machines? true innovators vs incremental followers? who knows, but stay …
