🇫🇷- Bally Bagayoko est largement au-dessus du niveau de ses détracteurs.





















One of the most powerful AI scientists on Earth walked out of Mark Zuckerberg's company. And he just raised $1.03 billion to prove the entire AI industry is wrong. His name is Yann LeCun. He's a Turing Award winner, one of three men called the Godfathers of AI. For 12 years, he built Meta's AI research lab from scratch. Then last November, he told Zuckerberg he was done. LeCun believes ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini every major AI chatbot on Earth is built on a fundamentally broken architecture. His words: "Large language models are a statistical illusion, impressive, yes, intelligent, no." Zuckerberg hired Alexandr Wang, the 27-year-old founder of Scale AI, as chief AI officer. LeCun's vision no longer fit the plan. So he left to build it himself and the startup is called AMI Labs. AMI stands for Advanced Machine Intelligence. His quote: "Silicon Valley is completely hypnotized by generative models. So this work must be done outside Silicon Valley." What is he building? Something called "world models." AI that learns by watching reality, video, sensors, physics not by reading the internet. AI that understands cause and effect like a child does. Here's the difference, ChatGPT predicts the next word. A world model predicts what happens next in the real world. It doesn't hallucinate because it doesn't guess but instead it simulates. That's the gap between a storyteller and a physicist. The seed round is $1.03 billion and valuation is $3.5 billion. It's the largest seed round ever raised by a European company. They originally asked for $500 million, investors doubled it. The first real-world application? Healthcare. LeCun's CEO used to run an AI medical startup called Nabla. They saw firsthand how LLM hallucinations could kill patients. AMI's world models are designed to never hallucinate and Nabla gets first access. LeCun isn't promising a product next quarter. He told reporters this is years of fundamental research. A billion dollars just to prove a theory right. That's either visionary or insane and there's no in between.
