AGI startup by renowned AI scientist Yann LeCun who was formerly VP and Chief AI Scientist at Meta. AMI (Advanced Machine Intelligence) Labs is working on world model AI. It positions this model as an alternative to LLMs. The goal is to create AI that "understands" its environment (aka the world) so it can simulate cause-and-effect and what-if scenarios to predict outcomes. It’s the answer to LLMs’ structural error/hallucination problems.
